So, any serious review on this amp?
It would be nice if someone who had a pair of hd595s bought those amps and posted some cool review on how synergyzes with them. If it's be4 august 10, the better.

You have some serious audio equipment so you can compare - let us know how they sound when they're done burning in please!

I did give them some quick tests on the PX-100, HD-600, K340 and K601. Impression thus far (in the 30 minutes I spent on it before putting it for continuous burn-in) has been good. It sounds reasonably neutral/clean, unlike the Headfive whose warm presentation I could never grow to like. It powers the phones, except the monstrous K340, reasonably well and the only sin I could detect is in the omission of some top-end details (but who am I to demand GS Solo-level performance at the price?).
Will listen some more later this weekend. Cheers!
Edit: Source used was a Creative Nomad Jukebox (line-out); this player might play a part in the 'top-end omission' finding since I have always felt it does omit some high-frequency details as well. I'm currently burning-in the amp on the computer with a Prodigy soundcard (which is a great-sounding card!) so I'll do some listening on it later on.

Thanks for sharing! Would be interesting to know what you think of the soundstage and transparency as well.

Just got one in the mail today. A generous member of the OCN community purchased one and had them ship it to me so I could do a mini review on OCN and then ship it to him. I haven't listened to it yet though.

Let us know when it's up!
