Hi to all:
I have completed the DAC, IVY iii and the Placid HD power supply.
Tested the Placid. it seemed OK.
Connected the Placid HD 2.1 to the DAC board. The Ivy is connected to the DAC board with its pins, but without
power from the Placid BP.
Al the green leds on the Tridents are on.
Vout 5.02v
current near the 1 ohm resistor in 564ma or mv across TP V+ - TP CCS
Shunt current out 2.9ma???? Isn't this too low? across TPout-TP Shunt
Heat sinks not hot.
The LOCK Led is lighted
The Mute Led is not. It was lighted - I think- the first time it was powered????
The only thing I did to the DAC board was to install the LEDS, Tridents, connectors for the IVY, installed IVY itself
and connected a switch for the SPDIF and USB...at position 3 on the board.
As far as I understand all the switches can be left alone, it will only be used for SPDIF and later on for USB.
So does this look ok?
Thanks in advanced.

You probably want to increase the shunt current, as once you start playing music, the current demand will increase.
Other than that, it looks good. Try playing some music! :)
