It does. IIRC I compared it to the Hegel H360, Liberty B2B-100, Schiit Aegir, and Digital Amplifier Cherry Maraschino monos in my post. These are all amps I've either owned or borrowed to test in my system over the past year. At this point I would take the 7293 over all of them. They are only responsible for 200hz and up in my system though. My speakers are the GR Research Super 7s which have open baffle subs for 200 hz on down so I really don't have any idea how any of the amps I listed perform from 200 hz on down.
I don't think Jeremy has anymore 7297 boards left. I bought the 7293 after reading the 7297 thread here and on the GR Research circle at audiocircle.
Is there any recomendations in the BOM for the parts upgrades with their relation to the sound?
I thought of spending a bit more than 300
on parts, but I bet it would be hard (not really possible) for me to figure out what contributes most to the sound quality..
Those diminishing returns considerations again

I was also considering building 7297 from my old 5.1 amp's wreckage, it got a nice heatsink and a back panel pretty suitable for the build.
SMPS - doesn't it really ruins the sound much?..
I was looking at this one: WX-DC2416 - will it fit?

Sorry, but what is that "Tom's protection" you are talking about? Can't google it, any links, please?..
