Questions

How big is the Ayn dc PCB?

It measures 100 × 90 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Ayn dc use?

226 parts, built around the NE5532, LM386, 24LC64(LX) and 74AC74M. 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 Ayn dc KiCad files?

From the afiskon/ayn-dc repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad-project/ayn-dc.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ayn dc 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).
