A New Take on the Classic Pass Labs D1 with an ESS Dac - Page 108

bigpandahk · 13th June 2012, 11:10 PM

Although I have only the BIII, but most of the members have been waiting for so long for the D1, may i suggest to GB the old PCB ASAP and GB the new design for BIII at next stage since it require lot of works.

bigpandahk I think there is some confusion, this run of pcbs has only recently reached critical mass to justify running them.

All that has happened so far is expressed interest and no money has changed hands at all. The timeline for these is run on a schedule that suits opc's commitments and this time he has asked that others distribute on his behalf. I'd take that as indication he has plenty on his plate.

I appreciate that we'd all like these things to move quickly but some respect for opc's quite significant contributions here wouldn't go astray IMO.

Owen has said this will likely be the final run for a long time (possibly ever) I believe. I don't think it suits anyone to do 2 runs of pcbs just to get some out quicker, especially when the size of each batch of pcbs would be reduced.

Hochopeper, thanks for reminding me and agree with your view. I highly appreciate members like Owen, qusp, Ian, Salas, tea-bag, Lorien, yourself and many others, contribute their time and sharing experience in this forum. Otherwise I won't be able to build the BIII with Arduino so fast.

I am willing to do anything that can help the GB. If ordering the PCB is just several emails with the PCB supplier for confirmation of order and payment, may be Owen can PM me the contact, so that I can place the order with reference to previous GB, make payment to the supplier, confirm order and receive payment from members via paypal and post the PCB to them. May be includes the FET if qusp willing to offer them.

thanks for the offer of help, but Owen is the best person to handle the contact with his supplier, it would only take longer to have another person in the chain, he is not just reordering, but making changes and he would certainly not be wanting to send you the gerbers to make the order

Thats fine. How about your potential GB for the case and VFD

qusp · 14th June 2012, 11:57 AM

yeah well I wanted to get an idea of when this one was going to take off before running that and i've still got a box full of LPUHP that have to go out, theyve been waiting for heatsinks too long and I tyhink will finally give up. after that i'd like a week or 2 where I dont have any responsibilities to anyone elses DIY, just my own

bigpandahk · 14th June 2012, 01:16 PM

Copper heatsink is not easy to find, if you accept aluminum and made in China, I can try to source for you.

qusp · 14th June 2012, 01:31 PM

nah not the copper ones, this was supposed to be a barter for a fully CNC custom aircraft grade (T6-6061 billet) enclosure based on our cad model in exchange for all of the parts for a fully upgraded LPUHP kit. for normal heatsinks I can just get from conrad or just use some copper bar stock to interface to the floor, getting heatsinks from OS is not viable due to shipping cost, but thanks for the offer.

i'll probably just run without sinks over winter and reassess it later after i've done some more playing with the combinations of multiamped setups i'm working on and tuned the speakers and digital crossover.

qusp · 14th June 2012, 01:42 PM

sorry yeah that was for me an hochopeper, the rest of thr group have been waiting for a standard one he designed to suit the amp, but just a sink, not a full CNC enclosure as heatsink
