The guys at mingo-hmw say that they could find it at "星際" in Mong Kok.
Guess I'll maybe take a look there, considering I don't have an amp...

Is this thing good enough to drive some mid-range cans such as the HD595 and the DT770 (80 ohms) to enjoyable levels? I'm wondering if I would be able to do that for a while until I can afford a better amp.

Anyone planning on mods for this yet? Any thoughts on cheap USB DACs to combine this with?

I don't see the need to call all their products crap though, they probably do much stuff for the premium brands as well and now when their schools gets better and the economy are exploding and everyone are working much harder than us people who don't know how it is when it gets tougher they will probably leap ahead many western economies, unless politics (local or world wide) prevent that from happening.

I didn't say all Chinese products are cheap crap. Just that I like some of the cheap crap they produce.
I have to say that in my experience chinese quality control is generally a nightmare though.

I picked up one on ebay yesterday, just to see what it's like. Don't travel a whole lot but I wasn't quite happy with how my 780s sound coming out of my Creative Zen Micro, so for $13, I don't think I'll be too disappointed.

Are the ones on dealextreme only white? I'd rather have black, but for 8.5 shipped I'm not going to complain about color.
Speaking of which, how long does it usually take dealextreme to ship items out? Mine was apparently shipped out on thursday, so I'm hoping it arrives soon. The anticipation is killing me.
