I just realised one thing while looking at the picture of the amps. The stretched triangle-sign indicates that you increase the volume by turning the knob anti-clockwise, is this really so?
I know it doesn't matter at all but was curious if it's a (cosmetic) design flaw or if it's constructed that way.
Edit: Thinking about it more the triangle is correct this way. It's just that it almost always has the thin part to the left. I'm tired....

To give you an impression regarding the size of this amplifier (besides the measures), three comparison pics with a iPod nano. Maybe it is of interest for someone.
snejk,
I think, that your first thought was right, on my TV the symbol is used in the opposite direction.

Thanks for the pics! Amazing the good sound (hopefully) that is fit into such a small package . And I also think the symbol is normally the other way. Ordered one of these. Was being patient but those pics are starting to get me fired up.

Generally I tell you ,that you would be very satisfied with the Headsix,like me.
Unbelievable relationship of performance and price.

Is that off the 9v battery alone?

Is the Headsix more powerful than the Mini^3?

hmm I went ahead and e-mailed Jan, he said "For truly loud levels you may consider something different."
So I this may not be enough to play the DT990s loudly

I ordered mine on Saturday and got my amp on Thursday. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet but A+ for customer service and shipping time.

If you listen to music louder than the Headsize will play it, I don't think you'll need an amp or headphones for all that long - you'll be deaf 
And by the way, Jan is not a "she"

Wow, very fast delivery, I just got my amp. I sent my PayPal funds on tuesday, so it was very nice to have a new amp before weekend. 
And wow, very nice sound. 
This is not the first product which I got from Jan Meier, and definitely not the last. Reasonable price and awesome sound really meets here.

What's the burn-in time for this baby again? Or does it sound good out of the box already?

Got mine today as well after sending the paypal funds on tuesday morning. I'm impressed by the speed of the delivery and the very good communication with the dr. Haven't had the time to do proper listening to the amp yet but so far I'm pretty impressed, first time with portable amp.

Got mine today as well after placing order over the weekend. Very impressed with the fast shipping and what comes in the box with the amp. Excellent product, it seems, to this point. Looking forward to getting home and giving this a listen. First dealing with Dr. Meier and it is very positive so far.
