That's alright. I just like finding stuff to tinker with in my spare time.

Now, if you could do that with 5.1 or 7.1 channels. . . And a software package that can grab the data off either SACD or DVDA, or upconvert 2 channel with logic 7 or similar. . . I've been wanting to use a small computer as my home and car system for several years. Thumb drives to store hundred or thousands of songs and videos, etc.
Good work, looks nice. I wish I could solder something that tiny.

Marshall, no problem man. Thanks.
Cougar, there is one board unspoken for. I'll PM you.
James, there are 2 ICs I know of that will decode 5.1 channels and are available for regular people to buy [what I mean by that is no expensive, business-only licensing agreement]. But there's still no software support, as you mentioned, so that's kinda hosed. Nonetheless, one of those ICs and a simple DSP or even analog filtering could give you surround sound on par with DPLII. Still not real surround, but it's the best I think is available for the average DIYer.

If YouTube starts working again, here's something to look at:

That's the gist of it. There are tips that make it much easier, IMO. I like the kind that are like little cups which can hold or remove a solder. The 'traditional' conical tip isn't a good choice for fine pitch soldering if you ask me. And it will not work once you get down to pin pitch of 0,50mm and 0,40mm [below 25mil]. One important step that's not in the video is using flux. One the part has all pins soldered I always flux it up and go over all the pins again. This gets the solder flowing well and provides a much more wave/reflow type of joint rather than sloppy, non-uniform hand soldered joints. But the video's techniques should get you there, with some practice.
