for those of us that own Minibox and Etys, I'd say "yes" But it's not specifically for the Ety--will drive other IEMs perfectly welll. It was just designed around the Ety4 with switching for P to S, and a bass boost switch as well.

If you recall awhile back, certain of Xin amps were designed around the Ety4 as well. Too bad he isn't around anymore

Why, did something happen to him?

Only higher impedance ones, like the RE0 and such, in my experience. I've had no luck driving any of the ridiculously efficient IEMs (UE11, SE530, etc) with the MBE+.

I'm getting a higher noise floor in the left channel than the right lately. Ideas?

Try swapping the left and right opamps? Also, maybe try another pair of phones.

I've done both, I used to think one of the opamps I prepared wasn't soldered properly. Playing music for a couple of minutes seems to "fix" the problem. Faulty volume pot or something within its path?

I got one of the original versions of the Minibox E+ about 4-5 years ago.  I loved how it sounded but I had issues with the input and output jacks soon after.  Sound would cut in and out if if the headphone jack or LOD wasn't held the right way.  I stopped using it a long time ago because of this but I just pulled it out of the drawer and sounds pretty good with my SE530s and X10.  But I'm still having problems with the jacks.  Anyone else deal with this and found a solution?  Is it difficult to replace the originals with better quality jacks?  I'd like to have a portable amp to use for my longer commutes. Thanks for your help guys.
