So the boards came and they went.
I no longer have any extra's DCB1s.
I confirm! I received my hypnotize board this morning. Many thanks, great job!

PCB arrived today, looks GREAT! Such a lovely layout & immaculate construction. Looking forward to the build.
hi T-Bag,
At the risk of sounding stupid or at best, naive, can I ask if there will be another run of pcbs for this most popular project. If yes I would be interested in two pcs.
If not, there may be someone who has a spare board. If so I'd like to know.
Thanks and regards.

Sonata149. No worries.
I think another GB for the hot-rod version will occur.
I have a waiting list already started (PM if interested).
It probably wont close out for 3-4 months.
Also-
The Mesmerize one will be offered at some point on Diyaudio site.
And this is a good place to ask if someone has a spare for you.
That's likely your best bet.

Thanks T-Bag for the good news as well as your initiative for this GB.
Some time ago I read through most of the thread but I have now forgotten what the basic differences between the Hypnotize, Mesmerise and now Hot-rodded versions are. If you could point me directly to the relevant post/s for this I'd be delighted.
As regards placing my order I will first ask if there's anyone who has a pcb for this project to spare. I would be much obliged if he/she contacts me for details.
Best regards,
JoeA

Hyp is a single stereo input through a pair of B1 buffers with on board regulated PSU.
Mez is a 6stereo channel, through the same buffer and reg PSU. It also has provision for a PCB attenuator. 6inputs are relay selected.
Hot rod is a more spacious HYP to allow higher dissipation in various devices. That allows higher CCS currents. The standard Hyp can get up to about 9W (+-22V @ ~200mA). By then it is getting pretty hot.

Just to note - there is another run of these we are going to do. The GB for that ends on 9-11-11
Hi
I just stumbled into this tread, and I'm very much interested to build a DCB1, probably balanced. So, I would like to sign in, but I don't understand much of the spreadsheet & the proper procedure to sign in. Could you please provide me with some information? Thanks in advance!

PM sent to you Thago.
Boards are going to be ordered next week. So sign up and pay up by Sunday!

hypnotize DCB1
Hi
I want to build hypnotize DCB1 is it good preamp for FirstWat F5, there is also no caps in signal path. Isnt it a poblem?
what is changet in HOD ROT version
thanks

You do take your chances doing this, if the DCB1 happens to have a failure. and DC on the wire could fry your speakers.
I use the DCB1 to an F5 without any failure, as have others.
Both are solid if well built. But one builds with a risk.
Butting input caps on the F5 is another option to consider.
