This is a lovely piece of work; I think it's missing the point to speculate on possible profit margins, or the magnitude of a kickstarter project; the thing is the point here. Something so well turned out makes me want to make things, not buy them.

Totally agree. Up until seeing this I never thought I even wanted a headphone amp, know I feel like I need to make one this lovely. Projects like this are why I like to make things, not for the thing, but for the make.

  If I could make things this beautiful (and it's not pure form, it's also functional), I'd feel a lot better about what I do.

    > and it's not pure form, it's also functional Understandable, honest, unobtrusive, thorough, and useful. Really good design by D.Rams definition.

Your comment precisely describes the "Hacker Spirit" that I expect to see around HN. These are the kinds of projects that I gladly upvote. Hacking (often just for the fun of it) is so much more rewarding and in the end provides so much more value than the usual techcrunch-style drama that often occupies most of HN home page.
