still waiting here on the east coast also, should i be concerned?
I think we should be more concern since we are in California and live close to Subbu.
Could someone please send me the bom, or just tell me what type of transformer to get, what are the needed specs. I didn't get the bom since I registered for the gb later than everybody else and I could check if my local shop has the right kind of transformer. The other parts i'll get from the parts gb
I see on the schematic Q1,Q2 and Q3 (Q2 and Q3 seems paralleled). I believe this is an error and there is no Q3.
What is the secret of soldering Q2 as the case covers entire soldering pads and there is no acces with soldering iron ?
they are difficult but do-able, at the very sides of the Q2 package you should see exposed contacts that run under the xo.
tin the pads and align the xo over them with flux and apply heat to one exposed contact by pressing the flat of the bit firmly against the side for a second or so. Check it has taken and the alignment and continue with the rest. Careful with overheating.
You can check continuity by C17 and L3 pads to the very side of the xo contacts - only two of the xo contact pads are used, is this correct?
Hope that's clear

Managed to finish first DAC. Soldered carefully, washed the pcb after finished soldering smd parts but sound is bad.
It sounds like a poor tuned FM station, my stomach tells me that is something related with spdif interface. Any idea, what to check ?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Second try was succesfull, working from first PLAY.
I really like what i hear now in the first minutes of listening.
First words coming into my head now is musicality and ease of playing music.
Start soldering guys !
Thanks that is what we like to hear from the buyers.
