GB For Salas SSLV1.3 Ultra-BIB

Hi teabag.

I am to order the R1 resistors to set the CCmA. What type and model of resistors would you recommend please? Would it be fine to use the same Panasonic 5% 350ppm found at the "Rf" in the minikits? I am to use a 3 and 3.3 ohm resistor in 2w config...

The panasonics are excellent quality resistors.
The only downside is their higher Tempco PPM may cause a little absolute value drift. A Wirewound, and I prefer non-inductive ones or the CPF2 may present less PPM, but I doubt would have a huge impact on SQ. However I may be wrong, I have not tested brands here for that. Others may have.
 
DDDAC Sounding Better Than Ever!

Because the parts kits have only one of the required resistors I had to purchase the other resistors from Mouser. The only brand I could find with a wide assortment of values at 50ppm was TE Connectivity which are low noise, rated at 600mw, cost about $0.15 each, and are small enough for the spacing on the boards - plus they look great and sound great!

I replaced Salas version 1.1 BiB 8V and +/-12V boards in my DDDAC with these new boards. The immediate impression is a tighter sound which more effortlessly floats out from the speakers. To borrow a word used by other reviewers is that the sound is more natural. Highly recommended!
