Thanks Jtwarce. One last question is the SDS worth the price difference over the CDA?

I think so.

Don't forget to get a nice case.

Planning to build one out of wood.. if not will get yours looks really nice need to save some more money for it though!

I'm driving Magnepan 1.7.

This may be a little OT but how do you like the 1.7's? Did you upgrade from 1.6's? I'm curious because I haven't heard the 1.7's yet. Looking forward to Valin's review in TAS. Nice to hear another guy here using the Class D's with maggies.

cheers,
steve

Not quite as nice as jtwrace's cases, but if you're looking for silver...

Sweet!   

[Barry_NJ]

Does anyone know the dimensions of the SDS module, will it fit/slide into a case like this?





I was thinking of putting the amplifier modules and power supply into separate enclosures.

Absolutely! That's why I'd started my post with...

   I know.  All good.

I do but not now as the dimensions are in a different place then I am.  I will say that I highly doubt you'll be able to find one large enough for the amp board, PS and tranny.

Is that the SDS-1000 kit? It's what I'm considering.

   Umm.  OK.  I'll stop responding now.

[ebag4]

I could only find dimensions for one of the amp boards but it is too large to fit that enclosure:

Features:
Stereo or Bridged Configuration
Power On / Off Switch
Power and Error LED’s
click and Pop Noise Reduction
Over Temperature Protection
Over / Under Voltage Protection
Over / Under Current Protection
MOSFET DC Protection
All Housekeeping Power Supplies
Small Size: 4.5” X 4.25” X 1.25”

Ha! It's all good!

I like the idea of keeping that big humming toroid and the ps board isolated from the audio signals.
I think that even if I were to use a single chassis I'd run a divider between the amp boards and ps stuff.
I'm just goofy that way



Thanks Ed!

Yes, that's goofy.  The tranny (in my amp that I built) doesn't hum at all.  NOTHING.  Personally IMO I think you're making it harder then it needs to be. 

After seeing that you're from GSP Ex. 165 I understand.     I'm originally from the same exit so I understand goofy.  In fact, you probably drive by my parents house many times.

Well if you're going to be in your old neighborhood shoot me a PM, and maybe we can have a listening/bs session
