So, given the delays in Trident supplies for the time being, is it worth removing the Tridents from one Buffalo (currently in use), go dual-mono, then fit/refit the Tridents when they become available? Or isn't it worth doing yet please?

Removing and refitting modules like the Tridents is quite some work, and there's always the danger of damaging the DAC during the soldering.
