I have a couple of Ver. .28 boards. Would it be worthwhile trying to build one?- Billyk

Carrie USB-Powered Headphone Amplifier
Having no other way to reach him other than a PM here on head-fi, I have been unable to contact him. I have not given up hope just yet though! So stay tuned and I will continue to try to contact him. He still would need to grant permission and share the gerbers...- Billyk

It is about as final as it will get is my assumption; Joneeboi would be the one to answer that. The last revision works well. The Grub DAC that is in it and the Mini^3 it is based on are still available so I don't think there is an issue with parts. Sooo... all we we would need is enough...- Billyk

If there were enough interest, say 50+ boards, and Joneeboi still has the files around, I think a group but would be cool. I wouldn't mind putting in the time and effort. Plus could use a few bords myself!- Billyk

Gamma-2 (γ2) DAC Thread
I have happily used these with my Gamma 2: Passive = Lightspeed Attenuator Active/buffer = B1 And my favorite, the Bottlehead Crack OTL (it is for high impedance cans tho) All of them are DIY the lightspeed and B1 are very doable and under $100.00- Billyk
