Jason, I received my boards today!!! Thank you. I finished building my first board. I hit a few snags with using electrolytic caps with a too small uF rating. I used 220uF 25v elna cerafine caps which caused a huge amount of DC offset. And caused the chips to be starved for power. They were running hot and oscillating badly. I removed the 220s and installed some 470uF caps and now everthing is ok. 1.3mV DC in the right channel and 0.7 in the left. The amp is drawing about 50 mA of current. I will use 10 AA NImH batteries @ 2000 mAh, which will give 12 volts. I should see about 40 hours of run time. I plan to use a onboard charging circuit for the batteries, with a charge time of 3 to 4 hours. A simple LM317T with a resistor and diode will be the charger. I also find that with the higher voltage rating on the electrolytic caps, the LED won't light. I will just wire it into the RK097 pot and use the default ground pad. I was planning to experiment with a TLE2426 rail splitter instead of the resistor divider. This was a great project and fun to listen to as this amp has a very clean sound. I like this design very much. I was listening with a pair of HD-555s and RCA 4GB lyra MP3. here is some pictures...
