OKay okay. The 5.1 headphone thing was a bit of a joke. All the 5.1 headphones I have seen are way below 16 channels of B22 goodness.
I am actually building four balanced B22s for myself and a couple other head-fiers. Using two sigma 22s for power with the off board heat sinks for better heat dissipation. Still a lot more work to do but all the tedious part soldering is done. I think I am a bit loopy from all the flux vapor
*you want to use them to make some quadrophonic balanced powered speakers* - jedi mind trick

Wow breakfastchef, its so weird because I was just coming here to post this...
My first CMoy. Uses 2 9v, discrete rail splitter, Burr Brown 2134, Alps RK097.
Your CMoy is quite cool. I do not particualrly care if my amps are portable; only that they are different. Yours definitely fits that mold. My other CMoys include the Swiss Army and Fat Boy. I look forward to seeing your future builds.
Thanks for the kind words guys. I was blown away when I opened the page and saw that shaker/cmoy. It was such a weird coincidence. Anyway, looks great. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite threads to read through. Keep it up everyone.

Here's my second build which I though was worthy of posting here. It's a modified CMOY design and an Alien DAC to top it off. Both are wrapped in Mahogany enclosures (inspired by the Grado RA1). I also custom built silver RCA interconnects because why not? I must say, none of this would be possible without head-fi; so thank you all.
Enjoy!

Way cool, willco007! A few questions come to mind. First, did you have to countersink holes in the wood from the inside to accomodate the panel mount components? Seems to me there is a thickness issue you would have needed to tackle to make this work. How did you approach the problem?
Second, most amps appear to be housed in enclosures that often are made fully or partially in metal. Do you have an noise issues with your build? I am interested if the mahogany box provides adequate isolation from external EMI sources.
Second build, first post.
