Tried reflowing all solder joints but still no luck, it still cuts out on dynamic passages
The second board i got was DOA.
No luck so far
Regarding disturbing other products: My Primare cd player has very heavy chasis, inside it the cdtransport is in a seperate metalbox again, which seemed excessive to me, but if I place the sure3110pcb with ferriet beads! directly on Primare cdplayer the cd several times auto-restarts in the middle of tracks
I am using ferrite inductors, Vishay, IHLP series, with my boards and when I lay the iPod nano close to the speakers some of the songs will terminate early.
When repositioning the nano further away those events do not occur.
Very interesting.

Sorry to hear of your bad luck. What board did you get - forgot. Did you check solder joints on legs of the tpa3116 chip? I had a bad solder joint on a speaker out and similar cutout happened on dynamic passage - I think ohmic heating through bad joint made it worse.
One other area is that your input cap may be bad - try swapping that out.
Sometimes we spend too much time futzing with our gear and forget to just listen to the music. I plugged my tpa3116 (Dug's PCB) straight into my full range mini Karlsonators and listened to some Van Morrison - no DSP no XO no BSC just pure lossless flac file. It sounds great. This is a really nice sounding amp and nothing better than playing fullrange.
The ferrite beads I use with sure3110 do look a bit longer (1cm) than those most others use, so I wouldn't be very surprised if they are not really effective with tpa3110 LOL
if the label on the box they came from is correct, beads size are same, these are RI-4-10-2, datasheet even has graphs for all their beadshttps://www1.elfa.se/data1/wwwroot/assets/datasheets/05854005.pdf
So with these beads my cdplayer gets disturbed by tpa3110, restarting in the middle of track, only if the pcb is very close.

I would like to see a ferrite bead data sheet with "impedance" vs current, like good inductor data sheets.
Then I would consider using them.
I just ordered two of these. Have not actually tried it myself. However, I have read quite a number of decent comments on it. I know that a small audio store at EBay based in UK (and one in Hong Kong) sells passive preamps based on these DACT type attenuators. The owner of the UK shop commented in another forum that he tried many different kinds of attenuators and found these to be the best choice (balancing between cost and quality).
Regards,
I would only consider (now) using inductors that have the inductance vs current graph in the data sheet.
Wurth has some inductors that I happen have some samples of.
I may have time in the coming months to try them.
Anyone considering switching from an inductor based filter to ferrite bead type filter should read up on the modulation scheme used by their particular chip.
Type AD ("traditional") uses two switching signals 180 deg apart. If inductor/capacitive filtering is not used and ferrites are used instead then the speaker will see the full power of the switching frequency.
Type BD (option on some BTL outputs) has the speaker load seeing in-phase signals at the switching frequency. This lends itself to ferrite bead filtering. This is where you will see comments about short speaker leads.
Just sayin: do your research.

Did anyone have success with eliminating the anti-pop or anti-bump on the red JY board on turn-on? I placed a capacitor from the mute pin to the ground on the power input and that seemed to work but isn't very pretty.
Yesterday I tried the method proposed on page 172, see image below and the ground point suggested, using a 10uf 50v capacitor and it didn't work. This is a way cleaner way to mod the board so hoping there's another solution like this.
Or rather how do I locate a ground point on the board closer to the mute pin?

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