Myref is 3886 chip based amplifier, I believe it is latest and most advanced sound quality wise version of this topology. If you use top parts- you get
very rich and detailed sound with so many positive attributes emerging during listening experience.
As I said I m using LDR (light dependant resistor) based attenuator- idea dates back years- and gives least degradation possible in attenuation stage. I m using integrated version designed by german diyer- he has new version with buffer (calvin buffer, named after other designer) integrated for better compatibility with different amplifiers (there are some issues with amps possessing too low input impedance values).
All work done by myself from a to z: you get bill of materials list, but whether you use it or not up to you. You receive only pcb,and in pre instance LDR's themselves - they need to be matched for equal attenuation in both channels. Almost every design has some sort of assembly guide.
All info can be found on diyaudio, but if you need any help I ll be glad to assist.

I recognize the HiFi2000 chassis :) Nice work!
I'm going to gather more information about the LDR based attenuator. I was initially thinking about a chipset based volume control (PGA2311 or CS3310), but this idea now intrigues me.

Hello there!

Here's my stuff too:

Speakers: Bowers & Wilkins 683 (a british brand, very good on rock & electro)
Speaker cable: DIY by myself (with very well insulated cryo copper)
Pre-Amplifier / DAC / Streamer : Atoll ST200 (french, very good Q/P ratio, good list of I/O for various use case)
Power-Amplifier: Emotiva XPA-2, heavily modded by former owner (US, huge current reserve, a beast).
Interconnect cable: DIY, same copper as speaker cables
Raspberry Pi B rev 2 + Hifiberry Digi + no-name coax cable
NAS: QNAP TS-412

Pre-amp and power amp have their own DIY power cables.

There's also a Bay-Trail-D based HTPC under the TV, with USB sound to the ST200.

Needs improvement: the raspi power supply
