There appears no limit these days as to how realistic computer simulations could be.
The rear panel alone is 10mm thick !!
You can scale the rest from there.
Note also the ventilation holes along the top edge of the heatsinks, hidden between the fins.
The amount of fine details is exemplary.
You could be very proud indeed of your creation. 😉

Next GB can only start when GB1 has finished building (at least majority).
Else too much effort to take care of 20 people at the same time.
But you can also watch their build as they go along. 😉

I will post a proper write-up in a couple of days's ...with plenty of pictures leading up to this end result.
😀
I'll be to busy listening for the weekend...monday will get to doin' it.

Ok, so weekend is over and i spent some hours listening to varied his res music....
What i can say is that starting from a completely dark background ( don't hear a thing even with no input and volume at max ) , instrument and voice separation is clear and precise, rich controlled bass where it should be , natural voices and perfectly controlled treble and micro-details.
A joy to listen to.....
I tried various Headphones and settled on my Fostex, the amp shows of each "phones" personality quite clearly so i'm guessing it can only get better if i had access to some ridiculously priced headphones....but how much better?
I will enjoy all my music all over again with the ones i have, it is difficult to imagine any better right now.
Will see later with a H2 adjustment mod to be done soon.
Meanwhile some pictures of final phase of build:

Go to a shop who wants to sell them to you.
You will not be able to test it with DAO.
But it gives you a chance to compare with other headphones, maybe your own.
Difference would not be proportional to price, of course.

Thanks,
I tried my best to highlight Patrick's work ...right now just basking in the gorgeousness of the music coming out of it.....😀

Thanks I can truly say that it was as much fun designing and building as it is now listening to it....
Thanks
I am curious about the result of the work you are doing with ZJ.....😉
This one needs a little cleaning up and optimizing ( next iteration ).
😀
I also have my JLH to box up ....completed boards already ( much thanks to Patrick ).....

Not that JLH Patrick..
I was referring to the True JLH Head-amp.....that is to be boxed soon .😀
The one you showed the link is something i would love to do out of my admiration for JLH's work, but at the time stopped working on it because of the thermal runaway issues....which you solved i know.
