Review of the Little-Dot MK1 Portable Headphone Amplifier - Page 18

based on your review, the MK1 might be limiting the soundstage. Some hfiers have favored the T4 because it's a 4-channel architeture amp which will give a more 3D effect. Not sure though if this is relaible as I have yet to buy a T4. but I do agree with you on th vocals. PFE is just very good with vocals and minute details of music.

Agreed, this is why I am now looking for an opamp that will increase soundstage over the LT1364. Maybe the stock opamp was wider but I will need to test it out and find out.

Hey there,
I'm also interested in Little Dot's MK1... but I am curious if anybody was able to compare the MK1 and MK1+ so far?! In my opinion those two are entirely different amps and I don't know which one is "better".

AFAIK those are the specs...

MK1:
  • LM4562NA (DIP8, socket)
  • TPA6120 as headphone-amp
  • 4x3,7V power supply
  • Gain 2,4,8
  • aluminium enclosure

MK1+:
  • LN4562NA for "Normal" version, 2xLME49710HA for "Gold" version (TO-99 package)
  • LME49600 as buffer
  • 2x3,7V power supply
  • Gain 1,2,4
  • aluminium enclosure (only the "Gold" version)

On paper both have their advantages, but how do they compare in terms of sound?!

best regards,
bearmann

Don't bother

I have had to send my Mk1 back to China 3 times.
It has now broken YET again, and I'm not wasting my time or money any further.
Utter crap.

My LD1's battery won't hold a charge I thought it charged up Ok but when I switch it on there's no charge at all (and no blue light). I've had it well over a year now, so what are my options, where can I buy a replacement battery (if that's all the problem is).

Strangely (and annoyingly) I also found my Marantz CD-63 that's been going strong for years now won't switch on.

...and one of my Koss KSC75's has lost the right channel

and I've just had a 3 month old Seagate 1TB drive fail on me (good old "click of death"). Not a good couple of days.

Anyone got an idea on the LD Mk1?

* BUMP *

My LD1's battery won't hold a charge I thought it charged up Ok but when I switch it on there's no charge at all (and no blue light). I've had it well over a year now (ordered 30th Jan 2008), so what are my options? Can I just buy a replacement 3.7V 500mAh battery (if that's all the problem is) or should I email David (jasmine_chine) direct?

Anyone?

I think David told me once that the battery should last three years or so in my LD MK 1 +
I asked him then what...do I replace it myself. He said I could but it was a little tricky as the battery is hard wired. He told me that I could send it back to them and they'd do it for me.

Little bump there but yeah, for future owners definitely contact David ASAP if the problem occurs, he is very quick at replying, provided you're in relatively the same time zone. He is very helpful too and will be glad to take a look at the amp for you .
