I built my b22 with one of these things, and I thought I had messed something up but one of the channels had a bad solder joint immediately after input, had I not put in a much weaker source and turned the volume all the way up (the 1 channel only worked at max volume due to which resistor was improperly soldered) it would have taken me forever to find the problem and fix.  But yes if you get one inspect it carefully to make sure all the resistors are soldered well...
