In terms of SQ only? I think someone said that the petite was less rolled off in the highs and almost sibilant at times. I've asked this question a number of times recently and even in this thread I think so have a quick scroll through.
It's kind of hard that all the world is still straight happy fullstop , no D2 Boa on the FS Forum still , I expect to see some soon

Quite the opposite! I have had mine for 2 weeks now and it seems to improve with each passing day. Today while working out on my exercise bike and using a source as limited as my 80GB Zune, I was once again thoroughly impressed at how the little boa handles subtle vocals and acoustic guitar riffs in the "Action Packed -Best of Richard Thompson" that was my music of the moment.
I ordered mine late on the 22nd about 11 PM and I received the thing this morning at 10 AM!
Its so tiny and it sounds amazing

LOL your looking for a used one I guess? Well unless someone is looking to upgrade these things are well worth their new price

Welcome to the boa lovers club!
You will find that the little snake just gets better and better. Best amp/dac for its price period.
I am using it paired with my Shure SE530s with fabulous results. Let us know how the boa works out with your 650s. The are the next regular cans on my list. I had 590s and loved them until after hundeds of hours of faithful serive one channel finally gave out. Rest in peace!
My main reg cans are Stax electrostats, which are incomparable as far as I am concerned, but I am looking for something a little different. I have tentatively settled on the 650s because, although their are better headphones out there, it is possible to get the 650s for around $350. Hard to beat them at that price.

Thanks. My first thoughts when I opened the package was, "Wow, its that small?!" This is my first portable amp and I am very pleased. I will let you know how the 650s sound but I have to run out to the store and get a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter. Right now I am listening to the Boa with my ALO recabled 780s and they sound amazing .
The Boa wont get much more use today though because my LD MKV is out for delivery today
Will update when I go to ratshack for an adapter, I can't wait for my grado one to get here.

Anyone care to compare this as a DAC/Amp against the Zero 24 bit as a DAC/Amp?
I'm considering both, as there is only a slight price difference, and I don't need something portable.
If anyone else is interested in this I could do an in-depth review (It would be my first) between the 2 as I was listening to my 650s out of the Zero before my Boa and MK V came today.
I won't post it here but in a new thread, I do not want to thread jack.
