Just completed my build of the stock Crack 1.1, thanks to everyone of all the advice and tips it is great to be part of this community! This was my 1st DIY build and learning to soldering was so much fun, all the directions were so detailed and easy to follow. Glad I practiced on some scrap wires before I started on the real thing. Love the sound of it and I'm going to enjoy the stock build a while before adding the Speedball, cant wait to see how that changes it.  I finished the wood with Natural Danish Oil and am using as Shiit Modi 3+ as a DAC off my PC and still am blown away with how much I am loving it!

Nicely executed, I second the comment on the base: the grain really came alive. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Looks great! Danish oil is indeed a great way to go with the wood bases. I show the prep and application of it in episode one of the new video series we have started.
