You don't need a soldering station, the AMP6 is very doable with any cheap 25w iron. What you do need however is a tip in good condition. If the tip is worn it makes it much harder. Decent solder makes a world of difference as well.
I just built up this DAC yesterday using only a cheap 25w iron, it has SSOP28 and TSSOP28 IC's.

Hi Preston,
I have an extra soldering station that I could sell. I bought it brand new last year when I thought mine was flaking out---turns out is was OK and so I have never used the new one. I believe it's a Hakko 939, but I would have to dig it out of storage tomorrow to verify. It was $99 on sale when I got it, but I'd sell it for $50. Shipping should be $10 or so.
Email me if you can (your email isn't turned on) or post your email (in words so it can't be spammed) if you are interested.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
