So far reviews have been glowing. Makes me all the more displeased with the ridiculous shipping keeping mine from me (seriously, it's been "In Transit" in the city I live in for 2 days, granted one of those was Sunday)... Maybe tomorrow :-|
Will gladly update with impressions when I get the thing.

THX replacement for out of stock 789
The THX 789 is out of stock. No problem. Just buy the monoprice THX887 which is still in stock at this time at the same price. The bonus is that the thx887 is a better sounding amp. Noticeably richer sound with a smoother high end and better dynamics. Both amps are basically twins with the 887 amp having upgraded capacitors and op amps vs the 789. Yes both amps suffer from having sub par pots but the 887 ( with upgrade exception)is structurally no different than the 789. Hence why not get the 887.

audiotechnica ath-sr50bt..
A very good headphone under 200$ The package include a short cable for recharge the headphone and a 3.5mm cable, instruction and carrying pouch. Very well designed, solid and similar to msr7. Sounds good and with solid bass, both with cable or bluetooth. Has a lot features and i m worry because i can t buy One for me: i have a msr7se and is a Little Better, expecially with furutech cable. Pads are bigger and solid than msr7 and i think that Is the reason because sr50 has solid bass, a Little + than my msr7se .

Edition XS vs Anada, Focal Elex, or other similarly priced competitors?
Looking for my endgame. I read XS is great and might be what I’m looking for. I have he400se’s and i like them. I have shuoer s12’s which i like as well. I want to skip small upgrades and go straight for gold.

Anything Else Like This?
Has anyone seen higher end versions of these multi out headphone amps? I'm looking into remote recording, tracking, and monitoring setups where many musicians can dock their headphones in the same setup, but I feel there have to be higher end options than this. Any work arounds or better brands one may suggest? FWIW I do enjoy Mackie speakers. Mackie HM-4 Desktop Headphone Amplifier | Sweetwater
