Hi all.
I'm starting a BIIISE project. Unfortunately, the IVY output stage went out of stock the exact same day that I committed myself to a build... My second choice was a Broskie Unbalancer which for the first time in 6 months, was in stock. I already had some power supply boards on hand. This is what I've come up with to fit in a 7" X 13" chassis. Red is AC, orange is DC, and blue is signal. I will also probably power the Amanero USB receiver with the 5V regulated supply.
Does anyone have any suggestions about the layout from my mickey mouse drawing? I haven't included the grounding scheme. The PCB are all to scale.
Sincere thanks for any thoughts!

IVY-III is in stock, if it will affect your plans.

Thanks for the info about the stock. After the website said 'out of stock', I invested a bit of money into the option shown on my possible layout. If that doesn't work out, I'll certainly be looking back to the IVY. With that said, does anyone have any thoughts on my suggested layout?

Basically it looks ok, but you don't show details like signals and gnd returns.

Thanks for the input.
I was planning on running the power supply grounds to the chassis where I'm grounding the IEC (green line on my drawing). My plan for the signal grounds were to have a star ground separated from the aluminum chassis by a 5R resistor. This includes the RCA-out grounds.
As an aside, if anybody out there would like to swap the Unbalancer + parts +/- power supply for an IVY setup, I'd be keen.
Cheers.
