DC offset has to be measured with input shorted to GND, otherwise it is a result of source's DC offset or input bias current voltage drop on input resistance.
Just measured my demo First One running all day, 1,5 mV on one and 2,1 mV on another channel.
Heatsink split
Hi LC,
I suppose the heatsink being split into 2 equal pieces for each channel won´t create any thermal issues, as I assume FO must be somehow similar to VSSA (i.e no thermal compensation necessary). The two parts are joined so they share the same temperature for sure in the central area.
Can you please confirm this is correct? Have you any other objection against this kind of mounting? The case I picked up has this construction detail that I noticed only today
Thanks!

The most important is mechanical rigidity, so no movement between two heatsinks is possible. No thermal issue estimated for your solution.
Otherwise, mount module exactly in the centre, aligned in a way that the output transistors will be located at the bottom of the common heatsink, so all the heat generated would be located as low as possible. Use thin TO-264 mica & grease.

You sould add thermal paste between the two heatsinks before assembling them to ensure a good thermal contact and no air between them.
I did that with the heatsinks of my F5, only one little minus: every time I move the F5 I have some thermal paste on my hands
You can use acetone to clean the overflows onto the surfaces after the heatsinks are assembled: It works very well.every time I move the F5 I have some thermal paste on my hands

Or use kapton washers instead of mica

Stereo amp with SMPS1200A400, dual?
yeap stereo with dual smps1200a400.
the amp outperfomed easily hypex ucd and coldamp sonora,
it did outperformed bryston 4bst too.
about nc400 i have test it but only from memory definitely f.o have bigger sound.
it doesn,t have the brutal punch of nc400 but it sounds with fuller body
especially at low volume.
i can,t say from memory which one is smoother and more detailed but
f.o is for sure among the best.
p.s.it,s not even burned in.
