Heh....that's why I have MKIII coming.....to make room for my XIN Reference
Oh yeah, that's right, the Reference is coming....nice!
Just a thought..why don't you send out a IC to see how many of us would seriously want one of these to really get a feel for how much work it would be for you to do them. We all would need a price of course, but you could be like Xin and make them when you can. I know I would be willing to wait 3 months. It's not like waiting on an amp. We all have nice sounding rigs right now, so this would be icing on the cake.
If not, detailed instructions would be nice.

Actually I do have plans to set up a "Loaner Program" at which I will send out a Franken Dock to Head-Fiers globally - perhaps accompanied by my SuperMicro-IV. I just want to share the goodness which I am feeding my ears now. But since SuperMicro-IV is my only amp, chances are low I will part way with it, not even for a day (so please don't hope too much)

I'm talking about selling them. I would buy it without hearing it first. I trust your ears and with the exceptional parts you are using, it has to sound great.

Well certainly sign me up for that action. Perhaps we could do a trade. It looks great -- I cannot remember who was thinking about putting the output of the box on the perpendicular face of the enclosure with respect to the input ... but that might allow you to have a little more wiggle room and use a 90 deg. mini to 90 deg. mini to connect your amp very nicely.
Love how you migrated the Loud warning. Entire thing looks great.
I dont know if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the OIMP V-caps are really HUGE!! The TFTF seems to be significantly smaller(and SIGNIFICANTLY MORE EXPENSIVE )
Using TFTF might be better considering the size of the reference......
LOL, while waiting for my V-Caps order to arrive, I decided to build a simpler dock for "Ultra Portable" use. It proved to be not so easy to lug around those Franken Nuts after all with the added weight and size, so for light travelling, I will use this:

Can't take credit for the idea, but why not recase the super micro in a bigger box along with the vcaps? It would protect them and cut a bit down on the bulk.
