On 1st March 2024, I received SE200 board form Avondale. Fitted to Nap140 monoblocks with some help from Gavin (thru emails). After full break-in in about 2 weeks, I did a critical listening on the sound. So it is obvious that it sounded much better than the original NAPA6 as mentioned in this forum before. The one I miss is the bass slam is not as good as Naim but the bass note is easier to follow/listen. After long consideration, I decided that it is better to fit this module in its own case, so it is easier to swap between Naim and SE200.
I bought the case from Ali Express:

Transformer is using 300VA 30V-0-30V from Element14.
Power supply : Minicap6 style : using 4 x 6800uf and 2 x 10000uf 50V Epcos Caps.
Rectifier : Avondale FWB2
The rear panel is fitted with 4 pins DIN and also RCA, so I have flexibility to use any pre amp.
Speaker terminals distance also as Naim's speaker plug for NACA cable.
Here is some photo for the build.

Now, I plan to make preamp for it. I have nac72 boards not in use..so is it worth it, or need to make better one?
Thanks
