The case is from AliExpress and laser engraved. The rear looks better because the laser can burn off the black anodization cleanly. The front is highlighted with some black graphite or else it wouldn't have the same contrast.

I'm not worried about the inlet connectors, just don't stuff your pokey bits into the receptacle or open it.

would you be able to link the case or maybe the name? it looks really clean. contemplating building one of these.

I flipped the front panel because the power button doesn't clear the heatsinks if i mount the volume pot on the amp board

I still have my old Lehmann Black Cube Linear clone that I use as preamp and headphone amp duty. I was mainly thinking about selling it for the cash not because I found an upgrade.
Yes still for sale, there's a Burson V5 in it and a LM4562NA that I haven't tried yet. Initially built I used the cheap opamp from the BOM, it does its job but any better opamp will sound better.

What are you asking for the PASS WHAMMY $ ?

What are you asking for the PASS WHAMMY $ ?

I thought about anything between $3-400, but after rethinking I'll be sticking to local sales.

How do you think about the combo of Whammy and Hifiman Arya or Audeze LCD-X? How well does Whammy drive these two headphones?

Has anyone got a recommendation for a good dac pairing with this amp? Would it work better with an r2r like the ares 2 or something more like the topping d90

I was involved in some DAC testing involving 20 high quality DAC’s and Topping did well against many more expensive DAC’s. Personally I like the Schiit Gungnir and Bifrost 2 with the Whammy.

Whammy up and running with an OPA2107. Waiting on a case to complete the build.

You fit those Obbligatos in there, good for you!

I finally got my Whammy together. I designed and built the case myself. It’s all CNC gunmetal grey anodizer aluminum and walnut.

 

[HiGHFLYiN9]

Gorgeous work Puck. If you decide to build any more I'd love to build a second Whammy in one

 

[puck]

Thanks! It was certainly a fun project. You can always shoot me a pm. Not sure about building another but you never know!

Beautiful case work! I like that all screws holding it together are hidden. Do you have any vents on the bottom of the case?
