Product Description

Due to the low-output nature of the average record player, a phono-oriented preamp is a necessary addition to just about any vinyl listening setup.The xDuoo MP-01 Tube Headphone Amplifier provides both rich phono amplification and a high-headroom home for your favorite headphones or speakers. First, the phono side of the equation employs two 6N3 front-stage, preamp tubes to bring warmth and nuance that’s likely already present in your record collection Read More

Exceptionally High Cost-Performance Headphone Amplifier

I’m very satisfied with the sound quality for the price. It uses 6N3 vacuum tubes, offering a wide range of tube replacement options. I’m enjoying trying out different tubes and comparing how they sound.

Hidden GEM

This thing really is amazing for MC for its price and decent with MM for those that can match it well with their cart. It doesn't match well with an ATH 500 series cart for some reason but the 95 series is great, as is my other MM carts. Swapped out the tubes to green sylvanias.

Imperfections

PRO: the value is incredible at $80. It is a solidly built amp, with a cool aesthetic. It sounds great with my Sennheiser HD-58x. CONS: I feel the amp could use more power. With the volume knob at 2-3 o'clock, it still only barely reaches my limit of "too loud". Other budget amps such as the Schiit Magni drive just as hard, but set at less than the 12 o'clock position. The one imperfection on the unit I received is that the bass knob notch is not aligned with the '0db'. Rather it is off to the left a tad, somewhere between 11 and 12 o'clock.

Sound > Price = Value

I'm very satisfied with this amp, using it with my PC, and when I prefer that smooth tube warmth, it delivers. PC > FiiO K5 (dac) > xDuoo MP-01 > Headphones or Stereo I would prefer a white notch on the volume knob and bass / treble knobs, but I'm not going to take a star off, because this device outperforms more expensive devices, and volume visibility is not really an essential feature.

astarfullofskiesGood day! Not sure if you will ever see this, but what is your PC chain? I see you have Scarlett Solo AND FiiO K5, do you connect them to eachother? If so, what DAC is used first for PC? FiiO K5? What purpose does Scarlett Solot serves?

Great for your first audiophile adventure.

I'm going to take a leap and say that 99% of the cost for this amp is based off the production quality. It looks great, feels great (solid, well made) and works pretty much right out of the box. I wouldn't use it for headphones that run near the high three digits, but I also have a pair of Sennheiser Massdrop headphones and this amp will drive those with pretty much zero problem. Assuming you've paired it with a good DAC, you're going to get crisp, clean, rich sound. All in all, in terms of hardware and function, I have 0 complaints. However, I won't buy anything manufactured by Xduo. The user card, which at least arrived with the product, was written with a focus on users who speak what I believe is Mandarin. Which is cool, unless you're shipping the product to be sold to a country where Chinese Mandarin isn't the dominant language, in which case you're probably just too cheap to have an alternate set of instructions drawn up. This is because...the Mandarin is large enough that it more or less relegates the other languages to small, cramped sections of the minimalist instruction booklet. So when I'm opening the package and setting everything up, I can barely see a large amount of the instructional information as it is cramped and riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. (Setting up an amp is not inherently difficult, but I like to read the literature that comes with my stuff). None of this would be a problem except......if I need support, I can't make a reasonable assumption that I would be able to communicate effectively with whoever I reach out to for support. If a company does not bother to ship different instructions to different locations based on language, they definitely don't care enough to retain support staff that might be able to speak in a language other than their native one. And if I have to learn a language just to contact support, it will probably be German because I've been giving Sennheiser money for headphones for 2 decades. But that's the beauty. Around $80 at the time of purchase, the quality of the amp itself makes the cost well worth it and, in two years if it goes out, I won't be that worried about support because I won't be out enough money to get upset, I can just buy something else for the next one.

Does the job superbly

I have used this both as a preamp and as a headphone amplifier. Obviously it adds color tot he sound but the EQ does the trick and it has the versatility to choose between Moving Magnet and Moving Coild cartridge technologies. In the images you'll see it paired with a simple Victrola Voyage turntable as that was a gift from my GF and I needed to fully exploit it (and it has a lot more to offer for.higher end systems). You'll also see that I am hooking them directly to the Edifier R2000DB speakers. Since these are active speakers, an amplifier is not necessary (me being a noob I learned that the bad way as I paired it with a FiiO k7 and it was just simply overkill as the speakers amplified the signal a second time and it distorted sound horribly), but surely you'll need an amp for passive speakers. I paired these also with my HD6XX and the now extinct AKG K7XX, and it powers either of those just fine (not a lot of juice keft tho for either, but I don't wanna have auditory damage) TL;DR: the MP-01 does the job well and if you can get it discounted, don't doubt and buy it. It drives perfectly well a pair of active speakers (Edifier R2000DB) as well as different cans with enough power to be enjoyed (Sennheiser HD6XX & AKG K7XX)
