Thanks, the redux looks great, my wife likes them as well🙂
BUT, I have a dust problem due to remodeling going on for another year or so and we like our windows open and get quite a bit of dust from it.
I am looking into ideas of a sealed enclosure with dust filters and quality, low noise fans, just like I did on my SFF computer build.

If I'm not mistaken (I have been wrong before...), at the same bias current (adjustable from 1.1A to 1.5A for either amplifier, if I read the F5m note correctly) the F5m puts out 3 times as much waste heat as the Zenductor 2, simply due to the fact that the supply voltage is 48 V (+/-24 V) for the F5m, and just a single +16 V for the Zenductor 2.
The Zenductor 2 thread does have a lot of talk about temperature, because the Burning Amp version uses two small 8 K/W heat sinks per channel; maybe the kit version will use bigger heat sinks? But the actual amount of heat is not very big.
Hopefully the kit will be available soon.

I'll cast a vote for the ACA mini: Easy and fun to build and pretty low power dissipation.
I don't have any experience with the Zenductor 2 but that looks very neat as well.

Thanks for the great inputs, from everyone, I love this site!
Looked at the Pub thread and Amazon, will have to keep looking, not found yet.
ACA Mini is interesting, looked at it as well as the Zen and regular Amp Camp....I would not mind at all building a balanced input amp(s) if that works out unless I just do not need it to get what I am after. I do have a balanced out DAC that can serve as the pre amp, Topping V70 Velvet, might end up with something else at some time or even DIY later on, also like the Geshelli labs units but not a pre amp...
More fun exploring to do, thanks again!
