I've listened to the COD for a while now & it does sound superb! Thanks again Russ & Brian for your excellent work.

Thought I'd post some images of how the system is coming together.

Here is the COD in the case:



I'm making use of an old half height LTO tape drive case that I scrounged from work. I plugged the 5.25" hole with an old heatsink to match the power amp. I was planning on bolting the LPBPS & LPDPS heatsinks to this heatsink, but the practicalities didn't work out, so they were bolted the other way around.

Probably going to upgrade the COD to dual mono, so have left space for an additional COD & IVY to be stacked on the COD & IVY in the box.

Here is a picture of the DAC sitting on top of the power amp:



The power amp is 2 Hypex UCD's in the same box - but with their heatsinks bolted to the front heatsink.

Here is a picture of the 4-1 Mux.



The MUX currently has digital in from my media PC & optical in from a PS3. The box is layed out to match the preamp control box (yes, my hammerite paint job is rubbish!!):



The preamp control box is for the lightspeed circuit - many thanks to George on diyaudio -
thread here

Here is the remote control volume with balanced lightspeed box:



I'd definately recommend this circuit, it sounds great.

Appologies for posting non twisted pear stuff on this page, but wanted to show the twisted pear stuff integrated with the rest of the system. With this setup, I would say that this is really my first venture into true high-end stereo. I'd love to know how much this sort of thing would cost to do without having the Twisted pear guys around. Cheers!
