I totally agree. For someone with an iMod, getting the optional built-in doc is a no-brainer.

As I posted in the other Amphora thread, this amp sounded particularly good to me on the zero-gain setting with my Ety's (the only headphones I tried). Basically acting like a huge current buffer for the source, with high-quality parts doing the job. The result is a very easy-to-listen-to presentation.

Seemingly easy to do, yet so elusive in many, many amps.
