Outstanding Headphone Amplifier

Excellent portable headphone amplifier providing high power output with reasonable price. Perfect for both enjoying the music, and audio mixing and mastering. It drives my Audeze LCD-2 pre-fazor really well.

Some cons I would like to point out are the unstackable physicality of the amplifier due to the volume knob at the top. And the battery life, which required 4.5 hours of charging time for 5 hours listening.
