Started soldering today. My plan is to leave off mcu etc. and use dac in default mode at first. everything in lower right will not be populated. Im using the SOIC opamps and the ADP151 regs. My only question so far is what to do with the ADDR pads. Let me know if you see anything amiss.
Thanks. Cheers.

I will use separate 5V power supply and not derived from V+ .
A superreg that will provide +5V and will not solder REG2 .
Also the transformer will have separate secondary at about 10V ac with separate diode and capacitors for this .
And a silver mica capacitor of 1nF in position of C12.

Hi,
Do you mean to leave out REG2 and use separate superreg with separate winding from the transformer for feeding the DC-5V (circule in red) ?

Hi everyone,
The build continues. I think I have all SMD components mounted except for the ferrites. The jumpers are still open as well. My plan is to verify voltages and then gradually connect jumpers and beads. Let me know if there is a checklist I should follow. Please let me know if you see anything amiss. Thanks so much.

Yes .
Ok in the range of 300mA ...350mA...400mA .
No shunt . I think you cannot do better sound to put shunt in this position
Better a classical lm723 with BD series like Subbu do on his DAC.
Or for the hurry ones a 5V low noise like LT17635 , very good for this position .
