errmm its a totally different product just the power cells and opamps in this amp would take up most of the space of a D10, the 2 should not be compared.

If referring to the fi.Q (OEM amp), it is like a very good home amp but just happens to be portable. All the power you would ever normally need, fantastic frequency range and a voltage swing to run dynamics from here to the moon. :^) This amp is transparent and just plain musical.

Needless to say, the DAC is even smaller than D10.......

Hi, does it sound like any desktop amp you've heard before? so it would be sufficient to drive say... HD800/650s?

I don't have the 800's but I do have the HD650's and it drives them with ease. The bass is a little better than my very modified Woo 6.

Jamato only say the bass is a little better. But not on every aspect. Kill me. I'll never believe a portable to out gun a full size.

having said, Fi.Q may just be the best in portable/transportable.

All I can say is hearing is up to each and every individual but the fi.Q will surprise a number of people looking for that division of portable vs. home amp. I have never ever assumed a "portable" because it is a portable could not hold up to a "home" amp, I have just been waiting for one to show up.

I didn't say it was better than the Woo 6 I have with the PDPS and all Black Gates but the bass is equal to and in some areas more "tuneful".

I am listening to the BG version with the Ultrasone Ed. 9.

Jam,
Do you know if this amp has caps on the input? Just wondering if one could run the iMod directly in w/o the special cable or doc.

I'd guess not as straight through seems to be the "thing" these days but just maybe....

TIA, George

In early development on this amp, pattern for coupling caps for iMod was considered.
However implementation on this amp is really tight, and also the users are having LOD with caps of course.
Then I decided and needed to get rid of them.
The caps require more than 10uF in input coupling.

why so high?? 10uf seems awfully high, how many K pot are you using in this amp?? because with 50k pot 2.2uf is enough to avoid intermodulation/bass roll-off for IMOD/DIYMOD. I think it was a wise decision to leave the caps out; many people such as myself would probably not be happy with the quality of caps used anyway. I prefer high end film caps and without adding a couple hundred to the cost of the amp (actually $400 in my case) you will not have better solution and 2 lots of caps is not good.
