#2I'm both an IT and audio geek, does HN likes audio geekery? I'm not affiliated with the company behind this website BTW..

#3DIY as in assemble yourself? I tried finding parts or info or schematics or designs for their other amps, but nothing of any real detail seems available. Cool potential offering here, but based on their other offerings, looks like it will probably be phenomenally expensive even in kit form. And not at all in the kind of hacker-ish open form we might hope.
It'd be great to see some real open-source wonkery start eith some of the modern chipamp chips. TI's latest tpa3255 is a beastly chip, and there's some pretty good sub $100 ~400W designs about based on it's advanced magic. Trying to get a bit more geeky, to share & tune & profile boards & builds together for modern chip-amps could really open up some new frontiers of affordable quality.

#5From the title, I expected an audio amp project with schematics and layouts available that was "DIY friendly" to build yourself. I was left disappointed…

I assume you meant "audiophile", not audiophool, right? If so, I wonder what makes an amplifier to be an audiophile amplifier in your opinion?
Objective and measurable parameters of the amplifier in question are phenomenal.

#7DIY in the site name is very misleading. There is nothing DIY there, they sell already assembled kits, no schematics or component list. From the site it looks like they work closely with NCORE which produces very good amps.
Edit: clarification

#8Wow, that's quite a lot of capacitors. Why so many?

#9Too bad it's not actually DIY.
Does anyone remember the 80s-era catalog of DIY HiFi kits? I can't remember the name, it was electronics geek+audiophile porn. Maybe it was Craven? something like that?

There is a picture of special, braided IEC power cable on there.
