Yep. Twisted Pear has a few as well. The nice thing about the TREAD was you could get the board and build it for less than just the boards from the alternatives.

If I could focus long enough to learn Kicad or Diptrace I’d just lay one out exactly like the Tread and make my own. I can lay one out on perfboard, but it’s a hassle.

Mine oscillated as well. Tomb, it’s surprising no one has just put out another board like the Tread. I’d use them fairly often. Small, tidy, and worked well. I know there are some others out there, but they’re slightly larger and cost more to build.

Marzie, did you finish this project? I've had an IQAudio dac and one of the new Pi's that I've been toying with making a dedicated player using a hdd in the case.

After looking at HiGHFLYiN9's chip amp I started digging in a little. Seems there has been a lot of discouraging news lately about chipamps service. Enough to discourage me from buying from them. Which is too bad because the prices were very reasonable for the boards. Was even going to get the...

HiGHFLYiN9, that build is freaking awesome! That's what I'm talking about right there. I was just telling my wife I wanted to have the top plate of my Crack and chassis for my Aikido powder coated in cream color. I think I may have to put one of these on the list. I've got a couple of Pass ACA...

Fiio X3ii for $139.99 at Massdrop. Thinking about picking these up as my first DAP. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/fiio-x3-2nd-generation-player?referer=ADQAQT

I'm trying to downsize my rig and a LM3886 looks like a good way to do that. Could you give us some info on what you've done with yours?

I'm just gonna say one thing as a person who is still relatively green after all these years. If you ask for an opinion on a design, newbie or not, be prepared to get 10 different reasons why or why it's not worthwhile to persue. If you already are knowledgable enough to understand or counter...

Can I buy a commercially made amp? Sure, but you know what? I am an anomaly among most of HeadFi I figure as I've never listened to a commercially built headphone amp. I like to DIY. I'm also an anomaly in that I'm not necessarily a big tweaker. I build as designed adding some bits I think I...

Definitely interested, but have never written a review.

Ok, so I cheated a bit to get started. Picked up a Crack + speedball for the 15% Black Friday sale. Still gotta build for my low Z cans though.:p. So the Ear style is still on the table.

I was thinking of doing a scratch build of something for my HD600's, but 15% off BH is almost too good to pass up. I have a Seduction, but just don't care for the aesthetics of their stuff. http://www.head-fi.org/t/823654/black-friday-sale-2016-the-list/75

I think I'm going to try and build something similar to the MAD Ear+ HD. I just need to decide how to do the PS.

Well, I'm definitely building the Max. I'm seriously considering the Headwatt, although I have so many pairs or quads of tubes I could go about any direction. 12B4a's, 6EM7, 6SN7, 6080, 6197, 1626, 12sx7, etc..... Then there's that 6C45pi parafeed on the forum right now. I'd really like to build...
