For at least a year I have been wanting to build a non-tube headphone amp. I like the Millett Hybrid Max a lot, but I'd like a bit of variety and I love building these projects.
What's weird, is that it seems ever since I got into this stuff about 3 years ago, there are only a few higher-end DIY non-tube amps. M3, Cavalli-Klein, and PPA v2. (I'm not counting the b22 because I could never afford it.) Everything else talked about here is tube or hybrid.
My questions are, are those still really the only options as far as well-documented, standardized DIY projects? And also, why has nothing else popped up in the last three years?
