After spending a couple of days listening to mine I decide it was time for the 'look inside' . I don't think I appreciated the build quality from the outside, but having opened the box up and taken a good look inside i certainly do now. Sure it's price point engineered but the standard of fit and finish is top notch. It's not made of 80mm thick slabs of alloy, nor does it need to be. Hats off to the guy who did the metalwork John, he's done a great job here, the way everything slides and locks together really is faultless.
I'm a little disappointed at the component density inside- simply because apart from the dead space where the analogue input stage will come in a future version there is simply bugger all space inside for applying any mods... Boo. This little box is packed like refugees in a truck. Honestly I'd struggle to fit discrete shunt regs in place of the chip regs already in there.
The little PSU board looks like you could probably swap the caps out for something suitably low ESR, but I wonder if it would be worth the trouble involved given the likely spec of the parts already inside.
Congrats on a job well done John and Dominik.
Any pics please?
