[QUOTE :Did you end up using caps that were larger than they were called for?]

I followed the BOM of ezkcdude. I think he needs to update the BOM for the appropriate parts that will fit or else it would end up the same to the picture I attached earlier.

ezkcdude, can you show a picture of the back side of the PCB with parts soldered on it. Just curious how it looks.

Thanks,

Fred
 
fitting caps

Much nicer. Ok. So just a matter of selecting the right parts. Good enough. Has anyone put together a corresponding BOM with Mouser/Digikey (or similar) part numbers which are current?

EZ: how many boards have you counted up so far? How many do you need to get? Is it time to start a Wiki page? (I am in the middle of a revC group buy [kitting as we speak...], and we used the wiki which was a good way to keep track.)

Well, the more boards that are ordered the cheaper they will be. I'd like to place an order of around 50. I don't know how to do a Wiki, but I'll try to keep tabs in the OP when I get a chance.

If it's only $5 a piece, sign me up for 2 boards. I have to redo my mesh up board for smaller caps.

Not $5 a piece. I said it was roughly $5 for shipping to Netherlands.

The boards will be $12, if I place an order of 50. Otherwise, the price may be either less or more. Hence, the need for an "interest thread".

Also, I think I should make it clear that this is not an easy project. It involves a lot of surface mount soldering. Expecting to get it right with one board may be naive, if you don't have a ton of experience. On my last build, I actually used the "toaster oven" method, because I was having so much trouble with my soldering. I had built something like three non-working boards before that. OTOH, the first ezDAC prototype I ever soldered worked on the first shot. YMMV.
