Looking to pay to have my beta22 enclosed...
I have a beta22 I built that is currently enclosed poorly in a horizontal desktop computer case. I am looking for a US-based person to properly enclose it for me as I have recently taken on a new position that is highly demanding of my time. We can negotiate price and details over the phone or PM.- Alex_O Rules

beta22 question
Is it possible to build one that could be used as both a headphone amp and, in the future, as a speaker amp? On the website it says it can be built for either of these tasks, but I'd prefer an all-in-one solution. Maybe a gain switch or something? Or is it just not that simple?- ezzieyguywuf
