keep at it!   Those batteries aren't SO scary, I work with them all the time for RC airplanes. Only had one explode once and it was a seriously dumb move on my part. Keep an empty metal tool box handy for piece of mind or get one of those fire proof charging bags.

This is seriously awesome! I hope this gets to a point where you will consider selling boards!

Wow! I got buried in a cave and just stuck my head out to see all this! nice work guys!!   i still havent built mine, I went away for holiday and when I came back I was supposed to move and get settled in. well things changed and now im without work bench, desk, iron, or anything for maybe...

Bummer mullet! but all is never lost, this is DIY after all!   When I got my first board I gave up for two weeks before I got back and fixed it. Sometimes it just takes a little break I think. The pup1 I'm listening to right now has 2 lifted pads as well, I don't think I've told anyone before...

I had a lot of weird issues on my first version and they all came down to solder bridges on the dacs. If you have a hot air station I would almost remove and resolder the chips.   Also, I find using the solder wick method often doesn't leave much solder behind so it could be an intermittent...

Anyone thats already done it, would it be possible to get the BOM? I'm feeling a little lazy to type in all those part numbers..... :P

Got my box today too!! thanks everyone! cant wait to get this going!.

Hey did the BOM get sent out and I missed it? or how is Mullet ordering his parts!     I've got 2 wire rework boards and one bal-se board. I need to order parts for that at the same time at my Pup parts and also some sort of PSU.... Oh the projects are piling up!

HEY! Im going to try and build the wire along side this as well!! small world :P

Is this going to fit in the same sized Hammond case as the first? Or is there a different case planned?

Hot damn! If I didnt miss out then count me in!!

Keep on riding Cobalmute! save the DAC work for the rainy days!   I continue to enjoy the rev 1 every day! I am now running it after a USB isolator on some pretty filtered power.... Might even try it on batteries for fun.

sounds like its going great!! keep up the work.

As I've been listening to mine every since day one many months ago, you can count me in on this new revision, weather it me prototype or kits.   I love my pup1

Very cool Tomb. Always funny to see how people share all sorts of various hobbies. I still love DIY audio, and airplanes for the same reasons; tweaking, designing, trying, crashing, burning, and mostly LIVING! I dont fly the control line much any more but still have a few electric and nitro R/C...

Excellent news, I still love mine :)

Quote: Im wondering where you get the actual plugs (male and female) for the removable wires.   They really looks wonderful!!

Fullcircle, where do you get the wire plugs from? or are the cables not removable?

Just wanted to say that I've gotten mine back up and running. I had the two dac IC's removed by someone with a hot air re-work station, I cleaned it up and re soldiered. I can only guess that the thermal paste I put under the IC's was somewhat conductive. Either way, after swapping out the...

All the capacitors are correct. When I remove L3 everything goes back to normal voltages. so I just theres a short somewhere after that. Its not the i2s lines this time, its not C13, so I Maybe U3 or some pins on U2. Either way, after another 2 hours of searching and frustrated! the board is...

My stopped working today! D'oh! what happened? when I turned on the computer this morning the dac wasn't recognized. U1 is getting hot again and theres 2.2ohm to ground on the 3.3tp. Darn, how could a short come the far in?

Quote: Which Hammond case is that? Looks good!

I would go with splicing them AT the y-split, but it depends where the bad connection is. I have e2c's as well and they are starting to go but I cant for the life of me figure out where the bad connection is, weather its the jack, the y, at the driver, or somewhere in between.

Did you say you had "a couple" of the boards made? If so I would be interested in one!

I just hope the fact that we all bought this in support will help facilitate recording a more musical album. Yes its interesting to listen to, but I would love something more classic, maybe some piano in there and a singer that "walked" around the stage.
