Great looking combo. Hope you pull the trigger soon!
Thanks! I'll definitely get the fan...

Not sure how soon I'm going to pull the trigger, as I need to buy my Audio Nirvana drivers as well...

I keep thinking how sweet it would be to use a pair of these little amps to make some active, open baffle speakers with the AN drivers...

Whether I just make an amp to match the dimensions of my DAC1 or make active speakers, it should be fun to hear how it all sounds...
