Hello,

The project has not been discontinued. With any luck, it will debut at RMAF.

Currently I am still waiting for Denny to send me the faceplates from Canada. Once those arrive, the final assembly and fine tuning will take place.

Thank you for your interest.

Here is a quick shot of the layout of the interior of the Re-Box.

Next, will be wiring all the parts together.

Is it still on schedule to be at rmaf?  Not that it's going to be in my price range, but it would be great to blow so many sources away in a fit and tidy package that reviews can gush over...  Good luck!

Thank you, Max.

With any luck everything will be working in time for RMAF. If I can't get it up and running in time, I will at least have it there to look at 

I should have a modded DUET around for back-up.

There have been a few changes in the internal layout and configuration.

The clock is not going to be used in this unit. I changed the power supplies a bit. I installed a completely separate PS to run the display and network functions. This leaves the Ultimate PS to supply just the DAC chip and the Hynes Regulator for the clock. Complete isolation from the internal switching PS and the display.

The Re-Box has been up and running for close to a week. It is sounding VERY nice. I think (hope) that most who hear will come away impressed with what kind of sound can come from a SqueezeBox Classic with a few (thousand) dollars worth of mods 

Here is another shot of the three faceplates that Denny sent down.



The top is a Spalted Maple that has been dyed. The middle is Lacewood and the bottom is Padauk.

I plan on using the Lacewood at RMAF.
