I was wondering, I have a Super.fi 3 and iPod Nano 2nd gen
Is it worth it to get an amp? I ask because these amps are so cheap, it's tempting me but there aren't any on ebay that hes selling right now (Well I don't know because I see some Cmoy ones but I don't really trust them....)
The bass is a little lacking on the super.fi...

I would say yes. I too have a set of SF3s, and this amp really helped to boost the bass and yet keep it detailed. This amp also helped the overall detail and separation of the music through my h320.

I'm spreading the word on your amp at AVS.. The title of the thread is about gaming headphones. Theres over 500 replies.. I'm recommending a good headphone, the JVC 5.1 adapter & your amp for gaming & movie watching.. I had like 6-7 guys buy the JVC 5.1 adapter based on my recommendations. & I'm glad they like it.

I happen to be one of those folks that kool bubba ice recommended this amp to on AVS and just purchased one a few minutes ago on eBay. After reading this thread, I'm looking forward to experiencing this amp.
Now for the slow wait for it to ship to Canada. 
I can't wait.

As a portable amp, does this cmoy have enough juice to sufficiently power Senn HD600's at 300 ohms?
P.S. The amp was shipped fast enough but I'm still waiting for it to arrive

I haven't been on these forums for a long time, but I am glad your all enjoying the Amp. It's a great small amp for it's price. Hopefully John will have something new for us all later.

Version 2.00 is new enough, I think.  I am in the process of updating my site. cMoyBB v2.00 PCBs can now be purchased from www.jseaber.com/cMoy
