Thanks.
For the resistors, I'm using SMD, but for the caps it's going to be a mix of SMD and through-hole. Odd value resistors are easy to get, but getting film-type caps in some of these values and tolerances is tricky, and taking what I can find in whatever package I can find makes it easier and cheaper.
I don't want ceramics in the audio path... especially in the decoder, so smaller than 1206 is pretty unlikely anyway.
I had been using 0402 resistors, though, but they are pretty small... I will see whether the values I need are available in larger packages.
Edit: Just checked, and it looks they are available in 1206 1/4W for the same price, so I have changed them out in the schematic.
