I doubt that this is the exact same design, as for starters, my M-Stage has only one headphone out but instead a line in switch...

That looks more like the BCL.   If you can actually get all the parts, trans, case etc., than that's a pretty good deal.

Yea, but I wonder how much all the extras are, altogether. Also, I don't see any connector outs? Is it simple to attach wires to rca connectors?

 I wasn't the one that asked, but I'm very happy to hear it all the same.

I have been using the Matrix M Stage for the last week burning in and playing the Denon AHD7000 and I can say that they are perfect together. The sound stage and detail and bass is simply amazing and they match so well with the Denon and 701 I really see no reason to look at any other amps. The Denon is so good with this amp. I think the Matrix can be used with any headphone with the gain adjustments which I settled on the 10DB setting with both the 701 and the 7000. Great amp/

Since the OP has used this amp with the dt 990 600 ohm I was wondering if anyone has used it with the dt 880 600 ohm.
 
No longer worried about it's ability to drive them, but would like to hear any impressions if anyone has any!

Thanks for this link. I PM'ed the seller asking for the price.
 
1) Finished Board : US$86
2) Shipping of above board :  US$14
 
3) Metal case : US$42
4) Combined shipping (HK-USA) for Metal case : US$15
 
Total amount: US$86 + 14 + 42 + 15 = US$157
 
If you source the 15V tranformer, RCA plugs, wires and misc parts locally your not really saving too much to go through the trouble of DIY.
 
Better deal if you have parts laying around and just need the board. Group buy anyone?

Not my auction but this guy will sell you all the parts needed.  Comes out to about $150 or so.. You just don't get the fancy plate printing.. 
Just a heads up for those on a budget.

That's what I meant when I said earlier that if you can get all the parts for $150 then it would be a good deal.  I've been interested in different ebay kits for years.  One thing in common is the lack of a power supply and transformer.  Finding one or the shipping of one always cost too much.  That's why the M-Stage is a good deal.

Just got my m-stage to come in. Fast shipping. I plugged it in for a few minutes out of box to see how it is. Really powerful sound. Drives my k702s almost effortlessly. The frequencies could tighten up more though. Hopefully a 100 hours of burn-in should fix this. More to come.
