I picked this up on the last drop. On the surface it seems like it would be a really nice amp. When you have it in your hand it feels substantial a nice feel to it and a nice size. It also has a nice sound. The big problem is the power, there's no power with this thing. It claims it can do headphones from 16-600 ohms. There's no way that's true. I used it with the iPod classic. I would have to turn the volume to the max on the classic just to get any sound out. I actually had more volume without the amp then I had with it. I had to return it because of a bad headphone jack. That was probably a blessing in disguise. It does take some burn in time if you do get it. When I first had it I thought it was a ripoff I couldn't hear anything. But after a few hours of playing it does improve. Still when you think of all the amps out there at that price level, for example the Sony PHA – 1A retails for 300 but is readily available for less. It knocks this thing out of the park. My advice for people who like to read this site . Save your money and wait until they do a Massdrop on the Shure SHA 900. Yes it's going to cost you 8 bills compared to the 2 bills for this one. But it's that WOW experience that you're looking for when you're buying products on this site. In this case it is 4 times better than this portable amplifier.

raymondehayes1Electronics don't need burn in time. You know a person barely knows anything about audio if they claim such a thing. At most, you'll have burn in time, by adjusting​ to the new sound, or EQ it to acceptable levels.
