AMB M3
High End Headphone AmplifiEr
M³ is a high-end DIY stereo amplifier for dynamic headphones. It includes a number of distinctive features, carefully considered to maximize performance while keeping the cost modest. M³ is also usable as an excellent pre-amplifier line stage or low-power speaker amplifier.
AMB γ3
High Resolution DAC
γ3 (“gamma 3”) is a premium, full-featured digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed for superlative sound quality, first class test bench performance, convenience of use and elegant appearance.
Aegis
High End Tube Headphone AMplifier
This is a headphone enthusiast’s tube amplifier. I say that as I’m sure some will balk at the cost of parts, which is roughly $2,000 USD. Given what some people are willing to pay for commercial tube headphone amplifiers, which are creeping toward five figure prices, it’s relatively affordable. I tried to come up with a design that 1) is easy to build, even for a novice DIYer, 2) uses easy to acquire vacuum tubes, 3) is simple and robust with low likelihood of parts failure and easy to troubleshoot, 4) uses a circuit that is not readily available on the commercial market, and 5) sounds good! I do not typically build budget-oriented designs for myself, and I did not do so here. I like to build amplifiers that look like professionally made products. Please abstain from telling me that it is too expensive, a waste of money, etc. You do not have to build it.
