is it possible that each kit I received had 2 extra sk117 and 3 extra leds?
It's in one's best interest to measure the IDSS of all your 2SK's. Try to use 3-5mv ones only if possible. If you got to use higher IDSS one's the build guide mentions where to stuff them

Yes, me too thanks to Tea-Bag
The ''FINE'' manual also says not to sweat much over IDSS because it will work anyway. You can get not so bright LEDS and lower Rset to reach target CCS if a low IDSS JFET happens feeding them, a not following Vo examples Vref, or a hotter BC550/560 in high Vo situations. Its good to have it balanced but if you had soldered them in, give it a go first. The GR JFETs don't spread more than 3mA apart if you get a bit lucky.
I've got my regs together now. Anxious to fire this thing up. Looks ready for business with the OnSemi MSRF's, Panasonic 10,000uF caps, 10uF KEMET MMK's everywhere, Vishay 5W wirewounds, black Molex terminal blocks....etc. Just need to get my DAC chassis plate re-drilled. I'll sink the fet's to the floor, as the chassis plate is very thick aluminum.

Lots of people are building PS for their Buffalo DACs.
