From the project
A portable (headphone) USB DAC with a separate conversion stage.
A simple and portable audio digital to analogue converter with amplifying abilities.
The Texas Instruments PCM2707 serves as the USB interface. This interface provides a clock and I2S signal for the main Hifi digital to analogue converter, the PCM1794A.
Since this converter needs a 3.3V power source a LP5907 ultra-low-noise LDO is being used to generate the desired voltage.
