Bought this amp about two years ago from Fang who was at the Philly Head-fi meet so it was his demo unit.It has not been used since.I've strictly been listening to my Yarland tube amp.I'm asking $140 shipped within the USA.

I was trying to find a review to read on the Head-Direct 01 to no avail. Is this the EF1 tube/hybrid??

Is this the one w/ a DAC built in? Or just the headphone amp? Thanks.

This is the amp without the DAC built in.

A little more info.This was one of the first amps that Head-Direct released.I think they later changed the name to the Octavart.After that they started to put more stock into there various IEM selections.That's about all I know.

Oh yeah,forgot to mention that while at the meet three of us Head-fiers compared this amp to the Creek 21se and all of us thought the 01 Earphone amp was the better of the two.The Creek 21se retails for $450,Yikes.
