Indeed. The photo doesn't really do them justice.

No, they're HiFi2000 Pesante Dissipante with custom milling/drilling on the front, back, and heatsinks.

Cases in today.

I have, in fact, done some listening. Eighteen of the boards are under construction; not pictured are the two boards that are completed and hooked up to temporary heatsinks, a σ22, and my source. It is, to put it mildly, pretty damn good. For the uninitiated: the above is a whole batch of...

One at a time, ladies.

Progress:

I would suggest contacting them directly.

Yeah, once I'm confident enough in the state of the design (read: have properly benchmarked the regulator, and have had other people take a listen and say that it sounds good), I think I'll do a group buy. I also have a metric assload of the smaller surface-mount components (I got a lot of...

I don't have an M3, sadly... I think I'll ship a prototype out to some folks in California with lots of things to compare with and have them do a shootout.
