you might hear a little bit of noise from the volume control but this goes away after a few minutes of warm up. i suggest you use a decent grade interconnect. um... oh, yeah - enjoy it!!! it's a terrific little amp that sounds much better than $60!
A quality mini-to-mini would be cool. Just take into account that any differences an interconnect will make in a portable setup will be quite small. Also, take the mass praise surrounding some mini-to-mini cables with a grain of salt. Some are quite overpriced for what they're worth while others are pretty decent for what they cost.
Never leave it plugged into a mains supply indefinitely - the charger circuit has no overcharge protection - it is a slow charger (the Wallwart is 200ma and most batteries charge at 0.7C) so you have only a slow build up but left for long periods it will overcharge the batteries which will lessen their life.
Never believe people who say it cant power high Z headphones - I use mine with Senn 580s and Beyer 990s.

wise advice from Veniogenesis. i certainly don't advocate going out and spending $100 on interconnects but one of the advantages of getting a decent grade interconnect like the ones you see on eBay or ones made by various head-fi'ers here is that you can get a nice short length. i've got my PA2V2 mated with my Zen Sleek and bought a $25 interconnect that was only 4" long. it's a perfect length for my setup and i don't have to deal with winding up unneeded cable.
Don't unplug headphones from amp when music is playing
Don't plug in anything mono in
If the amp is 1/8'' terminated and your headphones are 1/4'' terminated be sure you use an adapter that isn't a strain on the headphone out
