Good question! I did not have an answer, did some research, now I know, no reason, I think I will do just that.
Thank you very much!

EDIT: See amb's post below
The 8741 would allow you to take advantage of the switching between filters and such that are designed into the Y2 board, and are built into the 8741 and not the 8742. It's a pretty neat feature with noticable(audible) differences.

Actually, both WM8741 and WM8742 have the switchable digital filter and anti-clipping features. It's the WM8740 that doesn't. Nevertheless, WM8741 is the slightly better chip than WM8742.

These look great. Are DIY-challenged head-fiers going to be able to get them somehow?

The website lists MisterX as a contact.

Since the opamps are backordered for weeks, Is there any harm in running partial build and just using the gamma1 output? I Just have the ics,resistors, and some caps mounted, and the gamma 1 is back to the uncracked condition.

And that means he builds them for people on request? Sorry, I'm not really sure what you mean by that, or even if you were responding to me.

Why don't you email MisterX and ask?

Because normally I don't go around bothering people by randomly emailing them with stupid questions just because I can't get a clear answer on a forum.

Doesn't sound like it would be a random email to me......

Okay, thanks for pointing that out. I didn't see that buried at the bottom of the page.

That is like so epic. It needs to be in a interwebs faq or something.

That's "epic?" You don't get out much, huh?

No harm at all.

Do i have to attach both ground planes back together or can i just solder 1 plane together on the gamma 1?
