There seem to be new DOA designs popping up every day now, which is fantastic, but also difficult to keep track of. Even the DOA META here is getting difficult to navigate. I'm hoping to put together a somewhat-exhaustive list of all 990/2520 compatible DOA's. I'm especially interested in designs that fit the footprint but are based on different designs. Let's keep this to opamps that are available in either kit or assembled form (not just ideas/prototypes).

Is there a Neve-ish DIY-Op-Amp?

Not DIY per-se, but you can buy these to use in other projects: http://www.hairballaudio.com/catalog/parts-store/discrete-op-amps/ba512-discrete-op-amp

APP2055 is an inedit design but is not available in kit form,
it's a FET input DOA.
I have discontinued it when I have put on the market the APP992 for the internal competition that this DOA did with the APP2055.
