This is a project I put together for the bedroom. May be interesting to others. My objective was good sound in a sleek package.
It uses an SB3,a NOS DAC, and a gainclone amplifier, all with separate powersupplies. I use Felix's ampswitch plugin to turn off the DAC and Amp powersupplies in standby, and also to switch between a linear supply for the SB and the standard switching one(this is good for lower standby power consumption). There is no analogue volume control per se. I selected two volume levels attenuated by resistors and use a relay to switch between the two from a button on the back. Otherwise I use the digital volume control. This keeps the volume level in 70+ levels with each of the nighttime and daytime setting. Originally, I wanted to use a SB2 because the board form factor better suited this enclosure. However, gently bending the display 90 degrees from the SB3 board also works well. Then you can remove the connector boad for easy soldering of inputs etc. I planned to use only wired, but it turns out the wireless also works fine with no external antenna. For good measure I built in a noise suppression capacitor across the AC, and added a Littlefuse Metal-Oxide Varistor for surge prtection. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Inside.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3769| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Jitterbug ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jitterbug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4955 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40655 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
