A New Take on the Classic Pass Labs D1 with an ESS Dac

[qusp]

ah yes I should have mentioned the USA, of course USA and Canada have got their stuff. I wasnt aware you had secured EU helpers, excellent thanks for the help savvas and trickymicky! welcome to the party! lol

I love Gb's!

I have the parts list basically done. Will double check it, then worry qusp a little about some details and then realease everything. I sure am glass qusp is so behind, takes pressure off me

 

[qusp]

do remember not everyone is getting the upgrade components, so i'm sure you'll still get a few 'pokes'...

hey i'm not behind, if it hadnt taken 1.5-2 weeks to gather all the coin and get the order through, the resistors would be almost ready and mightve avoided the Xmas period, which I guess is why the order is taking over 3 instead of the normal 2 weeks.

in other news, guess whos posting from a mobile phone ^^ =)

 

[buzzforb]

Who uses computers anymore. Did you ship my caps?

 

[MisterRogers]

Hey! It's MY job to poke the Qusp!

[MisterRogers]

Ha!

[buzzforb]

[qusp]

As long as it is not the resistors I'm good!

these I feel would be more challenging to destroy, I could just pour them into the congealed Auricap puddle and reignite, but I fear that would only marginally shift their resistance, I would need to get more creative ? ?

 

[qusp]

just in case anyone missed it and to avoid the Q being posted again. caps are here already, Zfoils wont be ready till around Xmas, usually takes ~2 weeks but the size of the order plus time of year extended that to just over 3 weeks I guess. i'm not making individual shipments, keratherm is all cut and ready, all will be shipped to regional distributors, that makes the most sense I think.

anyone who paid me will have gotten confirmation from paypal of their payment and anyone who emailed me will have gotten some sort of communication.

 

[MisterRogers]

Speaking of regional distributors, you can count me on with the USA distribution.

 

[qusp]

thanks Mike, will do. I had pretty much counted on the same people who did the boards if at all possible. will let you know when I have tracking on the resistors, thus have a better estimate.

Since the topic of speakon came up during discussions on the enclosure, I'd like to ask if anyone has experience using them for solid core wires? I use solid core, 1.5 sq mm (~16 awg) wires for speaker cable and I'm basically wondering if they will work with speakon. Anyone?

 

[buzzforb]

Yes. They are as good as another fancy plastic plug maker that is well.known in hifi world....Eichmann, i think.

I am pretty sure there are speakon connectors/sockets with solder cups so I'd suggest you look for those rather than the screw fixing versions.
