I finally pulled my finger out, ordered the last couple of bits I needed to do this project and got stuck into it last night. All complete!
It seems to power up without letting out any magic smoke and the led's turn on. I dont have a cable at present to connect to the input (have one turning up tomorrow) so cannot test audio at the moment. Hooking up headphones and cranking the volume up does reveal a little bit of noise which I think is a good thing. Not sure what other steps / measurements I can take to verify all is OK.
The smaller SMD parts were a bit tricky, especially after a coffee in the morning which did not help but managed to get it all done in a couple of hours. I have parts to complete a second one (minus 2 resistors that I put in in the incorrect position and damaged when removing so had to raid the second parts set) so may have a go at a second one sometime soon but at the moment just looking forward to testing this one out.
Cheers,
Ben
