Solid portable DAC/AMP
Set up was a little tricky, requires drivers. Note. The included micro usb cable plug is longer than standard so you might not be able to use any micro usb plug to use the Miyo. Once itis set up, the sound is solid. Much better than any laptop's onboard amp. Does get quite warm.

The first thing I noticed about the MIYO was that it has a black background and a holographic sound stage. That was with my least enjoyable headphones: The Senal SMH-1200. It made them sound open, like the sound was coming from outside the cups. It was almost disorienting. I giddily listened to a few of my favorite tracks, noticing the big bass, forward mids and wide stereo image that I never experienced before with those cans. They sounded good. I couldn't believe it.
I'm not saying the MIYO is magical. I'm just saying that it is excellent, and impressive-sounding. It breathed life into those dry-sounding, clinical headphones. I've also used it with my SRH1840, T90, DT 880 600 ohm, HD 58X and HD 6XX. It has A LOT of power. On paper it doesn't seem like much, but foobar2000's slider is at -30 dB, almost close to zero volume, and the loudness is perfect with the HD 6XX, which are 300 ohm cans. -25 dB is not overly loud to my ears, but is above my cerebral comfort level. Because I received it along with the HD 6XX, I married them right away.
My impressions? This MIYO/HD 6XX combo is delicious, guys. So speaker-like! It's like audio AMOLED. You know how LCDs have gray-ish, washed-out blacks? They never hit pure black like AMOLED screens. Well, sound here is VERY contrasty, seemingly popping out of nowhere from the really black background of the MIYO. The music just blooms from that darkness out of the HD 6XX. Seriously, I can clearly hear the music sprout brightly from that dark aural void.
The MIYO has TOTL components and sounds the part, as hot as it runs. Seriously, the thing is a mini-hotplate. But it is as impressively-sounding as reviewers say they are. I am impressed. I am happy. Overall, I am grateful and super, SUPER satisfied with how the MIYO sounds. It surpassed all my expectations. Along with the HD 6XX, this combo has tight, weighty bass, speaker-like mids without being too upfront, and refined, anti-aliased highs. The stereo image is outside the head and to the rear of the ears. There is a lot of frontal depth, and every sound is in its own layer on the field.
Really, this combination produces clean, clear, non-fatiguing sound that just brings smiles. Musical and satisfying. Perfect recipe to my ears. The value to sound quality ratio of this combo is smile-inducing in my opinion. $149.99 for the MIYO plus $199.99 for the HD 6XX is bonkers value. I give the MIYO/HD 6XX combo a perfect 10 out of 10 right out of the box. But because this is a MIYO review, I give the MIYO a full 10 out of 10. It's as good as its creators say it is. Thanks for reading and God bless you!
