khadasT2V Extension Board Supports USB Data Transmission and Power delivery from VIM3/VIM3L/VIM4 to Tone2 Maker Kit.

These DIY Tone DAC boards are great to use in DIY projects. At the time Khadas released the Toneboard 1 (TB1, 2019), it was a hit and blew away many of commercial DAC. For its price point, feature set, and sound quality, it simply could not be beat. Over the past few years, I have used 3 TB1 in various DACs and small streamers. They have all performed extremely well, and I could always count on the quality of sound they delivered.Then a couple years ago, Khadas released an upgrade - the Toneboard 2 (TB2). This was offered as two different products, a finished unit in a nice, super small, package. The consumer version allowed a user to connect up there source using a USB-C connection for power and signal, add an external amplifier, or headphones, and your good to go. Even the specs were notched up a bit in the newer TB2, and it sounded great. The TB2 even had offered balanced output using a new RCA plug Khadas designed that was backward compatible with normal RCA output connectors.Eventually, Khadas released a sort of 'bare bones' addition of the TB2 for the DIY community called the Toneboard 2 Maker Kit. I picked a couple of these on Amazon for $119, to use in my new upcoming DIY DAC/Streamer projects. Admittedly, the normal turn-dial of the TB2 is more difficult to ujse, but once you set it you can forget it. I typically never used the dial, so for my projects it was winner. I very seldom used headphones. You still got all the advantages of the TB2, without the extra cost. More recently, I picked up a TB1, for a friend's project at $69USD. Bargain of all bargains.Truly, either of these are value projects and worth looking at if you like to tinker and build external DACs and streamers. Recommended.
