DIY headphone amp - CMOY

[Amature_m8]

If you are like me and don't have the cash to drop on a expensive headphone amp making your own is a great choice you have the skills. 

I was looking for a headphone amp the other day for my new pair of headphones and the only decent ones costed $100+. So i decides to look around for a tutorial to make one and came across a one from tangentsoft from http://tangentsoft.net/audio/cmoy/ . The page is very detailed, so i made my own with parts off ebay and my local electronics store. I also decided to buy a DAC pcb off ebay to add to the amp to create a dac/amp. 

I recommend it to anyone two knows how to solder well or want to get into it, there isnt much to learn, just follow the page from tangetsoft. Have Fun
