possibly, but any of the decent lower-mid tier ($200++) desktop amps and above should trump it easily. that said i wasn't a big fan of the iQube... although i could see why people would like its transparency, wide soundstage and quickness, i always felt the music lacked depth in 2 ways.

for one it's almost like the music is emanating from a plane, rather than a 3 dimensional stage, and for two it doesn't have the musical resonance, and the sound seems almost sterile.
