Hi - What input sources are you testing with in this location?
I have used a small DD ddHiFi TC35 Pro (Tetris) ES9281AC Pro DAC connected to my iphone via Lightning and Amazon Music HD. I have also used an Amazon Dot as a streamer. With the phone DAC I have played as high as 192kbit FLAC and it works very well. I have not had a need yet for a dedicated preamp in the bedroom as I can reach loud enough levels just fine.

The pre-production sample of the BC RAM285 amp PCB assembly has been built by the factory and ready to be shipped back to us for integration and testing in the chassis. It looks really nice. Top quality components.

In case you forgot, this was the RAM285 chassis:

Do you happen to know what machine will split that populated panel into individual boards?
I once was a software developer for a router and shear company so just a little curious.
 
And "Disconnet"
We will have to fix this on production version. Thanks.

When I work on these type of panel boards, i simply break them by hand or use diagonal cutters. Those are small and meant for had breaking via bending. Not sure what they do at the factory when full up production.

The router I worked on would either let you hand load a board or be in an assembly line. Would clamp the board in place and route out the tabs with a small router bit. Might have a hand grab a board out and place it on another belt or might be removed by hand.

The shears were getting phased out but would divide boards with a hydraulically actuated blade.
