Mine arrived today. Had to pay 30 euro VAT on it.. And it's not working on Windows 7, the driver is installing but then I just can't get it to play sound. I can get it to work on my Mac laptop though, and it sounds very nice with my Audio technica ath-m50s.
edit: turned it off and on again a few times and now it's working perfectly! Hooray! I might leave the guard off the tube because it looks much cooler that way. But smashing the tube accidentally probably wouldn't be very cool either!

frozenDo you think the sound quality improvement is worth spending 150$ with the m50? I've heard that they don't gain much from DAC and amplification. I'm still waiting for my m50 to arrive...

cigamDepends on what your source is now. If you have a crap phone/mp3 player/AVR/soundcard, the sound would improve. The T1 has a high output impedance, not recommended for low impedance headphones. I would look at an O2 setup if anything.
