DIY Hi-Fi Audio PCBs: Amplifiers, Preamps & USB Filters

Time to build better sound. Time to build audio with a better look.
All PCBs are available in a black semi-matte finish.

Re-Organised PCB

Reverse engineering allowed a better layout and smarter component placement for improved performance and signal flow.

Calculated Traces

Every trace was intentionally calculated: with wider paths for power, narrower for signals, ensuring optimal current flow and low noise.

Well Tested

Each DIY audio PCB has been hand‑soldered and tested in real-world amplifier builds to guarantee reliable, clean audio performance.

Really Good Amp. Seriously.

This is the DIY audio amplifier you’ve been looking for: featuring the powerful LJM L12-2, now on a clean, optimised, and fully redesigned board.

The improvements go deep. Traces have been re-routed with proper layer crossing. No more long horizontal overlaps. Signal paths now cross at right angles to minimise interference.

It’s no longer just LJM L12-2. It’s MA 12-2.

The goal of the Milan Audio project is to deliver the best possible solutions for audio enthusiasts, from USB DACs and preamps to hi-fi power amplifiers. All PCBs were originally designed for personal use, created to meet the high standards of the designer himself.

Audio Amplifiers

Explore a few PCB versions you might be interested in.

Audio PreAmps

Bring low signals to life with clean, proper gain control.

USB Audio Filter

Designed to improve audio by filtering interference from USB power.

Yes, every DIY audio amplifier can be modified endlessly. But this MA 12-2 is already improved. This is the end of endless fiddling and research. It’s time to assemble, power up, and enjoy your audio.
