   I haven't got a ton to show for all my efforts yet, except for the schematic, but I do have a finished PCB design for the front panel, and I have a custom footprint for the three-story motherboard-style jacks I'm using in the rear. The circuit complexity went down considerably when I added that volume controller chip to it, because it has buffered inputs and outputs and a virtual ground at 2.5V, and yes, the attenuation stages, of course, so then I don't need to worry about that.

      I'm trying to use the PCBs and the case itself for mechanical support where possible, but I won't be able to avoid screws and standoffs to secure the front panel PCB to the faceplate. I hope the hackerspace I'm going to do the CNC routing at can do countersinks for the screws. Countersinks are conical sections that screws can sink into to make them flush with the case. The case I bought has countersinks, and it would look a bit shitty to have these other screws sticking out the front.
