This was my second build (my first was an Amp Camp Amp). It went together in an afternoon of soldering with no errors. The build guide was exceptional, but I reckon you could do it just as easily by reading the schematic and BOM if you've done any projects like this before. It's that easy.
Regarding the sound: it sounds swell! Compared to my other headphones amplifier (a Schiit Asgard 3), the soundstage is deeper and more dynamic. I'm noticing new details and texture in well produced music I know and love. Even when listening to poorly recorded tracks, I find them more engaging than before - it's hard to explain, but going back and forth between the two amps, the effect is undeniable. I didn't expect this big of a jump from an entry level project.
Given the price and time commitment, there's no reason not to give this project a shot. Worst case scenario, you end up with a cool looking conversation piece which sounds really good. Best case: you're now addicted to DIY audio and have a new hobby.
I’ve built plenty of projects at all levels of difficulty - this was definitely the easiest. I highly recommend it for a first time builder.
At the moment I have been using it as a headphone amp to drive some massdrop Sennheiser 58X headphones.
I will probably build a battery power supply for it sometime down the track but right now, I am enjoying it exactly in its stock configuration.
I have built four kits from the diyaudiostore, I trust the quality of the instructions and video to help me assemble a successful kit. I am very disciplined and imspect each component and measure the individual parts where possible. The simplicity of Pass designs is a major impact on the circuit performance. Thanks again to Papa
