Have you considered Edge Card connectors? The type of slot used by AGP and PCI. There are some very small ones on the market.
Next big project for this amp will be to figure out a way to socket the op-amp board, i have been looking for a solution to this since i started this amp. Mill-Max makes some nice sockets that are low profile an designed to press into the PCB, the problem is that they need a machined round pin (.012-.018 or so dia.) to work well. They don't offer a right angle male pin that will work. because the op-amps pretty much have to be SOIC8 packages, rolling op-amps is a huge ordeal. My new design however, if I can get some sort of socket arraignment, would allow the individual op-amp boards to be swapped. So it would be akin mounting the op-amp to a brown dog adapter, only with the feedback and gain resistors and caps on the board, and just swapping out the assembly.
