Thanks Brian and GLT fo the suggestions. I will mount the power transistors to the case.
Brian do you know if the stacked combo of Buff2 and IVY3 will fit in a 1U / 40mm case with the provided standoff's?
Going to try and leave enough room for the upcoming AC1 - do you have rough dimensions for the display and control board? Will this need its own psu or can it be powered from the VD placid?
Many thanks,
Luke

Not with the included standoffs. The stacked height is just about 50mm.
The base standoffs are .5" (12.5mm) so I don't think shrinking them will get you there.
You could also use shorter standoffs between the IVY-III and B-II (.625" provided) but you would also need to customize the stacking headers.
The AC1 is our standard 3.3" x 2", but the USB plug of the Femto sticks off to the side a little bit. I don;t have the stacked height handy, but probably about .75-.875". You would need to leave space for wiring on the edges as well.
I am using a Sigma11(digital section) and a Sigma22(analog section) for the
B32 right now and it sounds pretty damn good! ...
3 days away from 'ship date' and still we have no documentation.
There are pages of questions being asked on multiple forums with multiple answers. Trying to keep track and create your own 'manual' is not cool.
If this was a finished cased item I'd just plug in I'd understand but it isn't, it is going to require some prep and now you have eaten all that time away; I'm not prepared.
Yea, I'm going to be the bad man for putting it this blunty but everyone else is just skating around the issue despite feeling the same.

What information are you missing for your preparations?
There is not much to setting these up. The only thing you will really need to do is adjust the current and voltage of the placids if you use them.
It will be pretty easy.
Manuals are written for everything but the IVY-III (and that's almost done) its jut a matter of getting them up.
The IVY-III manual is a bit tricky because it can be used by more than just the Buffalo II.
Also you have to keep in mind that the ship date was also reflecting time to write the manuals.
Anyway if you have a particular question please ask it. I am happy to oblige.
Hi Russ and Brian
In IVYII, is there provision to split the L and R portions of the Ballsie stage?
I use separate supplies for each channel of Buffalo 32’s I/V stages, and I run single ended. If the Ballsie stage will split, could then use one supply for all L sections, and one R. If I can’t split them, I either run both L and R Ballsie from one supply only- which rather defeats the object of keeping L and R separate- or use an third supply, which strikes me as overkill. I could, in theory, use one supply for all sections of IVY11 (individual supplies may well be overkill). But the regs I’m using are of limited current capacity, so I’d need to switch to something else entirely!
Thanks
Paul

I would not go any higher than about 7V. Otherwise the LDOs will be dissipating a lot more heat than they need to.
Personally I would stay in the 5-5.5V range even if I used separate pre-regulators for VD and AVCC.
Cheers!
Russ
That's good news Brian, is it possible to get the IVYIII manual on the site ?
Thanks René

I am about to receive my new Buffalo II. It will replace my previous Buffalo24.
I have a Mux with this B24. These pieces match well since they are all 24bits 192khz.
The new Buffalo being 32bits with a capability of 400 khz would be theoricaly limited in performance with the use of the Mux if we had such signals to handle. With present SPDIF signals it won't make any difference I think, not even with wave data at 24 bits we may find on the net. But I am not buying this thing for 6 months or a year, unless you guys are hiding an other rabbit in your hats!. I like very much the Mux and its switching capabilities. How do you envisage switching for the BII, including I2S inputs?
