The problem of Riviera AIC10

[AudioGD]

I tried to collect some pictures of the super popular high end headphone amplifier Riviera aic10, wishing for some engineering insight and professional assessment.

I agree, I don't see anything terrible here nor anything great for the matter.  I don't see why they are using 5% resistors in this day and age but nothing else really stands out.  Well only that they really like their flag connectors...

Honestly adore this amp. Its assembled in kind of an annoying way that makes accessing stuff basically impossible without fully removing the heatsink sides, but if anyone wants close ups of anything specific I am more than happy to provide.
