Jensway Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Pretty cool looking DAC + headphone amp. More info available from the official website here. Looks like it's going to be around $500 AUD. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equaliser Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Looked small till I saw the unboxing video, not very small quite cool. On the fly dial for volume control (which I prefer over the traditional front fascia dial position). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jensway Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Kinda wish I didn't already have a DAC+AMP setup, this product looks awesome. Might test it out with some planars at my local retailer when it gets released, and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davewantsmoore Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 need to know if the amp section is any better than O2 It probably is very slightly.... really depends on the headphones used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hochopeper Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) It probably is very slightly.... really depends on the headphones used. I've used headphones with a similar DIY circuit to what is described there ... I prefer these diamond buffer ICs over my O2 headphone amp. They do measure much better on paper. (I think I know exactly where they got the idea for this amp design from). Edited July 7, 2015 by hochopeper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
