Almost forgot!  I noticed yesterday that the link of 'Step 2' of the construction pages has C5 listed twice.  The silkscreen on the PCB is correct, it's just the image   http://diyforums.org/SkeletonDAC/SkeletonDACstep2.php

Finish populating the PCB yesterday, and it's running great!  Sounds really nice running from PC to SkeletonDAC to Roger Gomez NP-100v12 12AU7 headphone amp.  Next up is to populate the R1 power supply prototype and run the power for the NP-100v12 through there to clean it up.  I'll post photos...

Thanks for the color reference akgfan!  I was worried I would make the problem worse by taking them out of the package, so I never noticed they were different colors.  Do the Skeleton DAC kit contents match the Mouser or Digikey BOM?  From Digikey, C11 should be about 40% taller than L1 -- can...

Shoot, I sat down to assemble the DAC and may have swapped C11 and L1, but can't tell because they lack markings (that I can see, at least).  Any way I can tell them apart?   This is my first attempt at SMD and didn't really anticipate this problem.

Honestly, you can get a headphone amp prebuilt on eBay for a lower price than buying one made with nice components.  If you're really interested in building a CMoy, it is actually quite easy and a great learning experience.  PM me if you really want a Cmoy, but switches alone are about $3 each...

Is it still possible to get one of these boards?  I am looking for exactly this device!
