Jud Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 By the way, so as not to confuse folks, the references to no schematics were to the Chinese boards - @Miska has schematics and a bill of materials on the Signalyst site. (@jabbr , I'm sure you have schematics for your version at DIYAudio. BOM as well?) One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.

SMD components are super cheap in contrast, though soldering them requires skill and is aided by equipment like a stereomicroscope. So maybe not for everyone though several people are working on it. That said, SMD is great for production -- there is typically a substantial setup fee needed to load the rolls of the specific parts but then the production is automated with pick-and-place and then wave solder -- like pizza In other words, if enough people were interested, there might be benefit to a group buy. How many do you think would constitute "enough people"? (Right now I unfortunately have to say that though I wish I could be part of it, I'm paying on a mortgage and a construction loan and a lot of the other stuff involved in building a new home and paying the bills on the current one.)
