Yep, when I tried the onboard regs, I had problems getting the jumpers to bridge properly as well. They do go to ground, and anything going to ground on the 3oz boards was a problem, particularly if you were trying to use a sane tip size for the application.

The tab on O23 looks a bit light on solder... looks like you used hot air and paste on most of the SMD?

Yes, I did exactly that :).  So, when cranked up first time, what I encountered is alright and common ? Ok, I will warm it up and see if adjusting pot will do anything

Don't adjust the pots with the servo 0R jumpers in; normally this is done without. And yes, those look like good results. What does the other channel look like?

L+, L-,  R+ Instantly saw offset of +/-3mV without turning any pot. (Swinging back and forth)

only R- was instantly -12mV, but comes down to +/-3mV in like 30 seconds or so, without touching any pot.

Yes, 0-Ohms is not installed yet.  That was why it seems weird to me.  What did you encounter on your first cranked up about offset ?

Updates:

Great ! So I tuned into the pot, adjusting as @Pars listed out the channel and the Left is swinging +/-4mV and the Right is +/-5mV.  It swung upto +/-50mV but nothing extremely over that.  The things got Hot!

I think it is time to toss in the 0-ohms and try installing heatsink and listen

Alright, after the adjustment on the pots.  I tossed in all the heat sink and 0 ohm resistors and had a test spinning.  The result is staggering ! HD800S sounds so wonderful and Excellent to take around ! Woaa

Finally, thank you first of all @Kerry for this amazingly portable design and awesome list of BOM and so on.  Thank you @kevin gilmore for the amazing cook!.  Thank you @cspirou for this beautiful chassis run (it was a perfect fit every where from even the screws itself).  Thank you @sbelyo for this amazing GroupBuy on the Boards and Pot which made this project a possible.  Then to the last but not least, all of you who contributed into this thread

still looking for the beautiful black volume knobs LoL.  Also, please don’t mind that LED, I didn’t think it was that bright X_X lol

That is one blinding LED. Nice work! Where did you get the heatsinks for the THAT chips?

For knobs I was going to go with diyaudio or Parts Connexion

Yeah, probably was meant to stay inside but I slot it into the front chassis and it is bright 

the THAT heatsink was bought from Amazon, but I cut them to fit.  Using double sided tapes as you recommended 

I will give you the exact parts tomorrow 

Amazon seller is no longer listing this parts.  I had to cut it anyways and since it was only 0.5mm thick, it was easy.  The brand was BNTechGo 20x20x0.5mm. This link shall bring you to the similar but thicker one, and you can cut it to fit as well ?

Listening to nopants amp tonight (Curve - Doppleganger). Sounds awesome! iphone -> Vox w/no eq -> amp -> modded T50RPs. I'm really enjoying this tonight...

Pics remind me I need to clean it as I've been abusing it in the basement for a bit. Also don't have the heatsinks installed yet. It seems the top, etc. don't get as hot... I'll have to shoot some temps with my IR gun tomorrow. I know @johnwmclean doesn't run heatsinks on his and felt it ran just as cool.

I can not even touch my Mini heatsink after 2 hours on.  It literally sits around 70C X_X

Anyways, I found the brightness spikes and sizzling top was due to THAT340, as I swapped in the 3381/1349 and I got an observable improve in performances.

I used Volume knob from Goldpoint which just came-in, the smallest knob, and she look awesome!

You didn’t consider an adapter cable instead?

Yes, I did, but have to unplug it and carry it where I want is a hassle.  My cables are all 4.4mm :D

it also look good :D, except that I do not have the digital printing, so I just touched it up with paint

Yes, that is the same size I used.

As I noted above, I'm not sure these run cooler with the heatsinks. I'm going to do some more testing tonight.

I think i share this observation as well. Heatsink temp is lower then the naked transistor for sure, but i am not so sure that the transistor itself is actually that much cooler. The vented PCBs like Headamp has on their newer amps would be the way to go, or some sort of PCB mounted heatsink like this.
