Skylab has completed his review of the Isabella Preamp DAC Headphone - read the full review
HERE
"Let’s get the gushing out of the way. The Isabella is the best sounding headphone amp AND the best sounding preamp I have ever had the privilege of having in my home. It was better than any of my Singlepower amps, better than my Krell preamp, and sounded better as a DAC than my Denon DVD-5900, and took my main hi-fi to another level. I desperately wish that I could afford to buy it. It sounds phenomenal.........
I had always considered my Singlepower Extreme to be a highly transparent amp. And in the grand scheme of things, it is. But it is not in the same league as the Isabella in this regard. The Isabella sets a new reference point for me in terms of what transparency means in an audio device. I am quite certain it’s the most transparent sounding audio device I have ever heard."
WOW!!
I could not agree more.

Hi mhamam,
The Isabella runs on 24Vdc (from SLA battery power), but the batter charger can work anywhere in the world (120V/240V ac).
Best regards,
Vinnie
