Anyway, I picked up mine from the NYC Meet and I couldn't be happier.
So far I have tried it with 1- an iMod and my ESW-10's, 2- Meridian with R-10's and 3- an iRiver H120 optically out, into an iBasso D-10, using the line out into the Amphora.
The sound is astonishing. Almost to the point of being creamy .
On all three configurations, the bass is deep and clean. No wobble, no muddle. Almost visceral. The soundstage is wide and quite realistic (as far as I can guess that realistic is, with my age old reference recordings). The highs are euphoric, without any sense of harshness with the cymbals holding on for a full ride.
There isn't a spec of background noise anywhere, even at high volumes, and the amp has no noticeable problem driving any 2 headphones that I can throw at it, in any impedance.

I'm very happy.

I swear, I should introduce myself when I go to these things... the Queens meet was my 2nd meet I've ever been to of any kind. Kind of intimidating, with all the gear and new people... would've been nice to meet you immtbiker. A tantalizing report, btw, on the Amphora. As far as I'm concerned, the iMod + Amphora is THE ideal office rig. Tiny, tiny footprint but full-blooded sound. No interconnects, no power cable! That's huge not having to depend on suspect electricity in an office building, with all the computer peripheral cords plugged in. And at the end of the day, you get to just slide it in your slingbag and bring it back home.

And that wooden block w/ pearl inlay... very zen-like & Bauhaus at the same time. I totally dig how it looks. Kind of like a 47 Laboratory minimalism but with the warmth of wood. Seeing it in person only heightened my lust for the thing, I shouldn't have gone to the meet, man.
