MOTM

My recommendations:

Make the headphone amp a separate module.  An MOTM level converter is a
good general purpose tool that could see multiple uses, connecting
compressors, limiters, equalizers or digital effects in and out of your
MOTM.  I would hate to buy a headphone amp every time I needed more
converter channels.

Make the balanced TRS jacks unbalanced capable (this is probably
assumed).

I liked the idea about the combined XLR/TRS jack, especially if it
allows more converter channels per module.

Tricolor level indicators.
