Great review! Will you be trying the C & C Box amp soon?

Chuck - it's great to have you here!

Sorry for your wallet, though

Well my wife held my feet to the fire for a bit, but ended up just shaking her head in disbelief, or rather, complete inability to understand such things...but if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen, is my motto!!!

Skylab, if you still have the iBasso P1 you need to try it with the AD8620, just a bit of difference I think.

I do still have it, but as I have stated before, I don't op-amp roll. Just not my thing.

Ok but too bad because it opens the amp up with the clarity of the C&C but with a fuller sound.

Skylab, have you ever listened to the Total BitHead? I am curious as to how it would rank in your list.

I have decided to do an updated rankings. These are all now in the original review post.

EDIT: PLEASE READ THE WHOLE UPDATE before commenting. As I indicate there, since I no longer have the Practical Devices XM4, I could not decide directly between the iBasso and the XM4, so I list them as a TIE.
Hey Sky-

Any updaties on a full review of the Xenos? I'm looking to pick one up for my work rig, would like to hear your thoughts.

Man that Headphonia amp looks real tempting, feature rich and affordable.

I was wondering if I placed a order for the 3 swtich usb dac version would I get the old version if I ordered now or would I be placed in line for the newer version?

Thanks,
Troy

Just to say thanks skylab, you helped 'reassure' me that the headphonia would be a good purchase. I think I am going to be receiving the new improved model too, and he said you reviewed the old model

You'd get the newer model. I've read it somewhere in the Headphonia forums: http://www.headphonia.org/forum/index.php

He said to me that if I couldnt wait for the new model, he could sent me the current model and then just swap it once the new model is ready, which seems very nice of him.
But I can wait.

Ahhh... I see. Might have to put a order in soon, should be a decent upgrade from the PA2v2.
