I've used Alps RK27, Goldpoints and stepped relay attenuators in my builds. I would say don't use anything lesser that the Alps RK27.

Quote: True, other options are available, but this is what the owner wanted. Keeping it simple was also a concern.

Quote: If I tapped i2s I wouldnt be able to use the SPDIF mux. I also wanted to be able to remove the m2tech and use it for other applications.

Quote: I've noticed in some situations that a ground loop breaker can mess things up with the signal lock.

Quote: Do not use the switch in your link because its a momentary switch. You will cut the power as soon as you let go.

This is a Buffalo II build I did for a friend:        

Quote:   I've built one B22/S22 combo with four transformers in it and I didn't hear any hum.

Quote:   I can make them if you want. The drawings from Hifi2000 are a bit sketchy, but i could give it a go.

Quote: +1 on that :)

Quote: Second that. All my panels are made with the measurements from Neutriks PDF documents.

Yes, the button mounting hole is off center, not the text. Someone was drunk at Schaeffer that day because its perfectly centered in the software :) Quote:  

Quote: That would be correct sir :)

Quote:   They are made by Lamptron and they can be bought from http://www.performance-pcs.com/. They are actually made from Black Polycarbonate, but they have a nice feel to them.    

  Quote:   I can answer the questions about Jantzes setup since I built it for him. It is in fact a B22 amp with PSU and a Buffalo II DAC. The wiring is of two different types. The power cables are made with a wire from Huber+Suhner which is covered with an insulation called Radox...

For rotary switches you cant go wrong with Goldpoint or DACT. I've used relay based switches a lot too but they need to be powered.

We are not worthy :) Awesome build, absolutely gorgeous.  

Quote: Thats a nice clean build. What size is that Galaxy case?  

I have a persistent problem guys. I had a board before that didn't measure correctly on R10, R11 and R12. They measured 1 volt lower than R9. So I gave up and got a prebuilt board thinking I would save some time and effort. Sure enough, the board works, but looks horrible and nothing even...

I will try to make it this time. Might not have anything to bring, but you never know :)
