For those who would like to read the complete test of the 3E Audio Rev B Module, it's here:

Hi amigos, Before starting, I suspended the measurements of the first project "Micro Bamboo." I will come back to the quick measurements at the end of May finally, I still have to speak with Sami about his Micro Audio PSU... am focusing on this thread only on the measures of the "Bamboo V2"...

Anybody cares to explain/ photo how to install an XLR socket like this one, considering the hole needed, because it seems tricky:

You can use a cone drill to drill a 22 mm hole. And then after fitting the socket, mark and drill 2 small holes for the bolts.

Is anybody from Europe interested in buying the parts to build this amp (3e Module Rev2 + Micro-Audio SMPS + Case and Cables) from me?

Unfortunately I will not have time for the build and prefer to buy a prebuild amp.

If you're technically stuck, I'm in France. I can help you. )

I can see you are disappointed of the RCA modification needed, but with a little extra budget you can get a DAC with balanced out, maybe that can help.
I am not sure what is the cheapest Topping, SMSL DAC with balanced out, I have E50 for ex.

Thanks, but I just bought a used NC252MP-based Amp for less than what I paid for all the parts for your build (the MicroAudio SMPS was quite expensive).

I will try to sell the parts here in the forum section.

Ok ) enjoy your amp anyway )
I built several NC252mp and NC500mp hypex amps but they are noiser than the 3E Audio.

Sure. But coming from a noisy Marantz 2238B there will already be a huge difference with the NC252MP. I guess I could not hear the difference between the Ncore and the TPA3255.
