thanks
As far as surface mount builds go, this one is easy. The sound quality is simply...excellent.

can anyone
estimate the cost of the parts for the board ?
when you say the sound quality is exellent but compared to which amplifier ?

Well you do have three or four QRV08 builds under your belt... :rolleyes:

I don't have any truly power-hungry cans, but the HP-1 seems to always give you the "best version" of your headphones. With the HD650, it was like that scene in a high school movie where they take off the bookish girl's glasses, give her a makeover, and you discover that she's been a supermodel the whole time.
@tomchr have you considered making a cut-down version of the HP-1 design (HP-2, perhaps)? Maybe an SE-only version without paralleled amplification or selectable gain that fits into a commonly available project case? It seems like popularity of the HP-1 could be helped if there existed a "gateway" design that didn't require as much investment and had a less daunting component count.
I have a few other projects to finish first, though.
One of those projects wouldn't happen to be a MC phono stage, would it?
Maybe... Would you be interested?
