Yes, that is ok. Many computers' USB power voltage is not exactly 5V, and yours is a little low, but within specifications. If you used TPS793475DBVR for your "4.5V" voltage regulator, it will read ~4.75V.

Finally placed my mouser and digikey orders, I had a couple of backordered goods, but they'll be in stock within a week. I must say thanks to amb and all for finding alternatives for items that were OOS everywhere, it certainly came in very handy.

One of your backordered items was the opa2635 op-amp, wasn't it? It was suppose to ship today at mouser, but they delayed it till the 29th.

I've got them on backorder, and the 2.5% caps that are OOS as well. Have to wait until well after Christmas now

I suppose I should know better than to trust shipping during the holiday season.

The opamp on mouser showed a backorder ship date of 1/18/2010 for me

so I picked it up from avnet which has an estimated ship date of the 28th. Digikey has an est. ship date of 20th for the ad8656 part, so I picked that up as a backup.

They have had a shipment coming in mid-December for a long time, but that all sold out before it even arrived......

After some half-assed trace repair and replacing the power multiplexer my y2 lives again =D

Is it best to clean off flux as soon as possible (within reason) or is it alright if I don't clean it until I have completely finished soldering which might be over a 2-4 day period, as long as I clean it up before initial testing?

Solder all the SMD stuff first and then scrub both sides with isopropyl.
Then you can wait till everything else is mounted to clean up the solder side.

When you install ASIO4All, install the "offline" portion. That way you can easily access the stuff for the y2.

Alternatively, you can use ASIO4All with your regular sound card, and when you play music, in your taskbar on the bottom right you'll see a green arrow, you can double click there.

mattcalf, I'm sure you can wait, but as the flux dries (maybe if you wait weeks) it will be a bit harder to come off, but not impossible. I have always done initial checks right after I have finished my soldering/casework without any adverse effects. And of course, the β22 was a different story, I took forever and great care with that one.
