Here are some random parts that are going in the PCM56 DAC. I know these posts are kinda dumb but it helps me cope with the wait.
Talema 7XXXX series toroidals. Had to order these from the UK, one for each channel, one for the digital supply.
Medical grade dual primary dual secondary toroidal, has an electrostatic shield and hum band, this will be my balanced isolation transformer for now.
Rubycon Caps, more of these to come, but this is the bulk, ZLH series low ESR long-life types.
Some transistors that will be used in the power supply positive rails.
DIP-16 socket for the PCM56 chips.
More stuff should arrive today, will probably start doing some prep work today and tomorrow, mostly around the 12B4A output stage. In chemical kinetics terminology, the rate-limiting step is the PCB production, I am expecting those to arrive middle-to-late next week. Will get everything else I can done in the mean time so it's simply a matter of stuffing the boards and testing!!!
