Excellent =]

Beefy, it looks like he's using the supplied selector. I'm curious John, how did you know the subtended angle for the switch? Is it a data sheet?

Yep 15 degree increments as per data sheet.

I just wanted to check, because I think you have the angle wrong. This page claims a changeover angle of 30 degrees. Which would make sense for twelve pins total.

I think the angle you are looking at is for the location of the stud to prevent the switch rotating in the panel.

Genius Beefy, at high school I averaged 99% in tech drawing - it’s been a while since then. LOL.

Thanks Nattonrice - I think you got the scent of a my mistake as well.

I was only just playing with it a second ago and I thought perhaps my hands on mechanical reasoning was shot

Edit: btw how did my measurements look?

Perhaps a quick check is in order, from somebody who has the switch in front of them - that would be you

Over the range of the four clicks, does the switch move a complete 90 degrees?

Umm on second fiddle it seems as if 15deg is correct. My one doesn't move thru 90deg.
Gah I think I am too tired.

I get 90 degrees over 3 clicks. Which is correct for selectable 4 inputs.

Nice but too expensive, I need one with a division line though - that points to the chosen input. Not sure yet...

That looks right

Your case layout is very similar to how I am going to do mine, except my case will be a 19" rackmount, so a fair bit wider than yours. It affords me a lot of extra space for goodies like shielded transformers, an E24 for power switching and room for swapping in Placid power supplies.

I dont know if this has been asked here before, but is the best thing to use my Buffalo on my surround sound to just feed the dac into which input of the reciever?
