Update:

Did some DTP work with laser engraving on face plate. It turned out beautiful. Below are the photos.

Lovely job on the engraving! Nicely finished , looks professional !
Happy listening to your efforts, will pay of when that sweet music gets into your system:-)

Looks absolutely amazing. Really classy.

How much effort would be needed to add a remote to this for Volume control?

I think A kit is available we just need to add it and do the wiring accordingly. We will also need to change the face-plate accordingly.

Superb Sadik Bhai... please put some photos from all sides

I was too lazy to remove the preamp from its place ... Thats why i took only the front photos. I will post the photos later.
 
Got the board last Tuesday. Got a transformer Yesterday, wired it up last night. Fired up today morning. All I can say, this amp sounds amazing. Brilliant work. Absolute black background. Will post more impressions later. Right now I am happy as a clam. Thanks @sachu888 and @Aniket .

Congrats @tuff

You got the preamp or the dd Poweramp ?

The preamplifier. it's nice and compact. brings out the high's and low's much more in comparison to direct from DAC to power amp.
 
Greetings to the fraternity.

Yesterday, I had visited @Aniket for a demo of his Discrete Dynamics amp. He had the DD preamp mated with the DD poweramp @ 70watts. I agree with the black background observation of @tuff. I have heard a lot of imported integrated stereo amps but it outclassed most of them costing considerably more.

The DD combo has a warm signature and sounded very musical. Speaker was Aniket's own creation which as per him was a 'party speaker'. If the amp can make a party speaker sing, i can only imagine what it is capable of if it is mated with an appropriate speaker. DD is a great amp at a modest price.

Lastly, not only is @Aniket a fine gentleman, he also is a gracious host who had the patience to put up with my silly questions.

Yes, to answer your question, I have requested him to build one for me.

Regards
 
SO got some time today, and decided i need to build a case for this:rolleyes:. SO i decided to make a little design to make it as good looking as i can. The volume control knob and power switch are available online with audiocrafts so decided to use them in the design, The front plate would be thick acrylic or glass screwed in to a normal aluminum body. Should not get too expensive hopefully.ChromeFinish1.jpgChromeFinish2.jpgGoldFinish1.jpgGoldFinish2.jpg
