Frequently Asked Questions
I would like to etch a few boards myself. Can you send me your design files?
The board is not etchable. The design features tiny traces and vias that cannot be reproduced without high-end PCB manufacturing equipment.
How does it sound?
People rate Revision A somewhere in between Chaintech 710 and EMU 0404.
While it is believed that the changes introduced in Revision B may improve the sound,
the new design has not been prototyped yet and no definite answer can be given at this time.
How much does it cost to build?
PCB + all on-board parts should cost £20-£30 ($36-$54) depending on the powering option and parts you choose.
This excludes taxes, P&P, enclosure, and output connectors.
