Are there any good alternatives to the 24-stepped attenuator for the GSX-Mini? I can’t stand how far apart the steps are on mine, I would like at least 48 steps or a traditional variable potentiometer, but I don’t want to alter the sound much/at all if possible.

The ALPs RK27 is an option from Headamp if you don't want stepped.

You'll be constrained by size if you take a look at something like Acoustic Dimension 41-step. Your best bet is likely the RK27.
Here is my CFA3 with A-D attenuator for differential scale to GS-X

I’ve seen some people claim that the alps doesn’t sound as good as the stepped, but it may be worth the convenience of setting the volume where I actually want it.
The other issue is it looks like the PCB is different between the two versions, I’m hoping to find a somewhat drop in replacement that won’t take too much extra modification.

My alps version has the black PCB (low 200s serial number) so I think green was either pre production, or only the first batch or so.
Looking again it does appear that the green pcb has the contacts for the stepped pot so I think you’re completely right. Seems the charges are likely unrelated to the pot.
