Last picture is extra PCBs of different DAC output stages.

I have the manuals from Mirand for the discrete output shield this is on the DAC in use and also the DAC itself. The preamp manual I only have version 1.0 revision manual, the PCB in this preamp is version 1.1 but the feature set is identical. Only, they changed the input switching using relays and the discrete OpAmps on the newer version I have. You can probably find them on Mirand's Audio thread. AMB's Sigma 11 and 22 can be found on AMB's web site, as well as their power switch driver.
