Would high-quality resistors have any real world effect at the inputs? If not I'll just pick up whatever radio shack has instead of paying $5 shipping and waiting for a mouser order.

I've put a few hours of listening on this and it sounds good, but not amazing. I was expecting to be able to hear a considerable difference between the SS and the built in amp in my emu0404, yet I can hardly tell the difference between them. Although I am impressed with there being no noticeable hiss or hum, after building it I was half expecting some noise from a poor joint or something. |
