Currently, I have MS1s. My source is my computer, with a wave 8/24 sound card. This card is full 24bit/96khz supportive. Im running its output into my receiver, which Im using to power my headphones. To me, this sounds very good. I just graduated from high school, and have a few options as to a gift. Here is one I'm considering.

First thing I would do is get MS2s. Then, build myself a PIMETA, possibly with a STEPS power supply. It would use all the highest components, dale resistors, black gate caps (if they still make them), 24 position ladder attenuator. I would then want to get a DAC. I was lookin on ebay at some of the audio alchemy dacs, they look nice. Then, Id run a chaintech av-710 using toslink with bit-perfect output. Bam, theres my setup. Would give me an eargasm over my current setup?

You might be happier if you upgraded your amp situation first. The MS1s have a lot of scope to build on.

I say spend money on an amp, then decide if you need more..

Also I'd rather a medium level ppa or m3 to a maxed pimeta..

Where can I find PCB suppliers for the M3? Are they difficult to build? What is the situation with their power supply?

All the answers to your questions lie there. And I don't think they're terribly hard to build, you do need a multimeter though for the initial setup.
