Is it the discrete IVY?

That is correct!

It is one of the discrete I/V circuits I am working on. Specifically it is the "Counterpoint" circuit.

Cheers!

I believe that I can plan my layout such that I can replace my IVY with up to 3 new TPA modules. The SPDIF lines will be longer than I would prefer as a result, but these are the small prices we pay!

Does anyone have Buffalo DAC & TPA logos in vector format? I'd like to put those in my custom panels.

 

[Russ White]

Jantze,

I can send you images if you can do the conversion.

I just sent him my own conversion, but if you have a high res file its probably better. Mine was from the website logo

Nope, it's delrin

Gotta have all-black casing

Delrin Vandal Resistant Illuminated Switch Black - Blue Ring Products Model: VSW-BK-RING-BL [VSW-BK-RING-BL] : Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come

My stuff arrived today and I have just a couple of initial questions. I'm sure there will be more, but better now than after I screw something up

The IVY OPAMPs are now OPA1632 instead of THS4131?

I assume thermal paste should be used with the isolating pads?

Cheers!

 

[Russ White]

No need for paste, the pads are designed to conduct heat.

The THS4131 and the OPA1632 are virtually the same chip.

Cheers!
Russ

Yes. In this application they are identical.

I assume you mean for the power supply voltage regulators. There should be a pair of thermal pads in the kit, which do not require any paste (in fact, paste will make things worse).

Like this...

 

[Beefy]

You're both quick on the draw!

Just wasn't sure what material the pads were. I've used Avid ones that don't require paste, and I've also used a much cheaper brand that did recommend paste......

[EDIT] And a LCBPS lives! I always love finishing the first step
