Hey Fang, how many watts does the A6000MKII output?
Also, how many ohms are the V1.8 speakers (2,4,8)?

You can read more about it at Qinpus webpage: CHPO AUDIO
They are 4 Ohms with a sensitivity of 84 dB/watt I think! can't read Chinese so can't really be sure.

I just want to say I am impressed so far with the Qinpu A-3 amp for driving my AKG K1000 and my Stax SRD-7 Pro transformer with HE Audio Jade. I will be doing a write-up within the next week on this, as I am just below 200 hours of burn-in and wanted to make sure it was run in properly. Naamanf listened to this yesterday and was surprised at the sound from this $299 chinese amp, and liked the machining done to the metal enclosure as well. The 1/8" line out also can drive a headphone nicely, and is not just to be used for a subwoofer (just like how my Apogee mini-DAC 1/8" is a line out that can drive a headphone). For source I am using a PS Audio Digital Link III and iPod 5.5G iMod with lossless via a DLO homedock HD with it's optical output into the DL3 DAC. I am told the DLO converts the iMod analog line out to optical, and is not a bit perfect like Wadia, but it sounds at least as good as an iMod via $800 Jensen Copper foil cap dock.
I'll also report on the Q-1 radio/amp soon - I have one set up with an Apple iPod dock on the CD input, and a full size headphone amp plugged into the 1/8" output, and the speaker out are going to an SRD-6 with Stax SR-Lambda and book shelf speaker connected to the SRD-6. It makes a nice rig for listening to the radio and ipod via headphones, stax and speakers. The 2-watt amp has no trouble driving the speakers, but I haven't listened to the Stax yet till it also passes 200 hours. Previously this rig was being driven by an old Optimus (Radio Shack) mini integrated 5-watt amp, with a Sansa e240 as the FM radio, and the Q-1 sounds much better.
