A breadboard adapter for the PCM2906C: A USB 1.1 audio codec made by Texas Instruments. Note: the way the header pinout is defined, this board is only intended to be used as a DAC. However, you can choose to DNP the pull-down resistors on the VINR + VINL pins and solder jumpers onto the pad and use it that way.

Questions

How big is the Dac PCB?

It measures 50 × 25 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.

What parts does the Dac use?

34 parts, built around the PCM2906CDB and SPX3819M5-L. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Dac KiCad files?

From the 77volatile77/TI-USB-Audio-Devboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is dac/dac.kicad_pcb and its schematic dac/dac.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Dac design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
