Has anyone compared a Gamma2 to commercial dacs? I'm curious how it stacks up in terms of SQ to the DAC-19MK, the Meier Stagedac or the Benchmark DAC1. I'd be running via SPDIF.

Waiting for more comparisons. AMB states the Gamma 2 "can stand proud amongst DAC's in the 1000.00 range"

I can't wait to build mine, along with its Sigma25 companion, and compare it with the Compass, Stello and Pico.

Cant wait to start building mine as well, I don't have any commercial DACs to compare with, but I will be building a couple of grubDACs before getting my hands on the gamma2, lets see if my crappy ears can tell any difference!

As soon as my SCHA is cased up (soldering all done) I'll get to this baby. 
I'm so excited, the impressions seem to be great.
