Thanx in advance.
No problem. I've been burning-in my new HD-600s and after listening to my MK1 with my HD-650s, I tried the HD-600s. The experience was very much like my experiences in the review. The only difference is the LT1364 Opamp I put in the MK1. All of the good traits were present, nice wide sound stage, flat frequency response, good tight bass, mids are nice and clear and the highs are very, very nice. No mixing or muddiness, or being overly bright. There is plenty of power and the excellent dynamics have plenty of power, so they punch through! No veil is present with the HD-600s and trying different music confirms a full spectrum dynamic range.
This is a super amp for a better than reasonable price.

OK, finally broke down and ordered a Little Dot Mk1. Made an offer with Jasmine on ebay and she accepted. My very first headphone amp.

I think it was this that pushed me over the edge

Can't wait for it to arrive now.

Just had an email from Jasmine, seems I'm not going to get my MK1 until after the Chinese New Year.
I understand and all, but... Bummer.
Maybe I should order a LT1364 Opamp, y'know, just for tweaking.

EDIT Emailed to say that was fine and she responded by saying I'd get a little extra gift for not minding the delay. Isn't that kind of her.

LT1364 use this no regret but first try stock for the song you always listen then use 2.5 mm allen screw remove the small little panel then swop to LT1364
you will get the instant wild effect, keep on running keep on burning

Hi Peter,

Now that you've put a few more hours on the MK1 with LT1364, is your sound stage widening some? Mine did, enough that I have no concerns about it at all. Now I enjoy playing lossless files on my Zune80 through the MK1 to my HD-650's, anywhere I want too!!

I really never thought I'd get a chance to enjoy such quality sound and have it be "mobile".
Later...

Really? D'oh!
Anyways, in my defence, he did sign himself as "jasmine" and I didn't imply he was a woman in the emails I sent.
Duly noted for future reference.

I still like the "extra" free thing though.
