yeah pabbi1 spill the guts man!

swt61: you'll be dangerous with a soldering iron and woodworking tools. Remember, Austin is cheap for shipping those first few broken builds for inspection.... not as close as pabbi1 is to helping hands in the dallas area, though

Why do you need two Dual Supply Modules since you are not using Ballsie?



Letting you guys down a little - it is indeed an OPUS with a Ballsie (not the dual differential) - the dedicated Trafos are for the 2 dual PSU - what you don't yet see is the S/PDIF receiver, so it is two dual PSU for the 3 modules (somehow). The out is for combo XLR, so it will run balanced OR two single ended. This will mainly be balanced out, from a relatively cheap transport... at least for now...

Any other thoughts on the Joshua Tree? How does it compare to a traditional stepped attenuator?

I have been using one in a Blue Hawaii and so far so good. Sound Q wise I can't compare it to a regular stepped attenuator. One thing I really do like is that it has 128 steps so fine adjustments are not a problem. I don't find any steps where I wish there was a in between step. The only down side I could see is the extra space of adding the boards and the extra transformer.

I have one small complaint. If you have a source that is DC coupled, then there is a annoying pop right around the 50% mark. For me, zero is pointing down and this happens around 11:00->12:00. You'll have to turn real slow to find it.
