Aren't the HLLYs rip-offs of Little Dot? I personally wouldn't buy one. DV and LD are reputable. Also consider the Jade, excellent amp.

Ooh I wasnt aware of that ! Just a shame as the DMK-IV looks lovely

I'll have a look at the Jade....never heard of it, could be just what im looking for.

Cheers for the reply.

EDIT : Where is the Jade sold by the way ? thanks.

the HLLY MK III looks like a Little Dot MKIV rip off, but the DMK IV looks nothing like anything Little Dot sells. Maybe it's legit.

I'm interested now, anyone know anything about this amp?

Put it this way: the HLLY MK III listing claims a "Little Dot 2 year warranty", and seems to have accidentally forgotten to change all the names on the specs listing from LD's MkIV. David from Little Dot has disavowed any association with them.

If they'll do it so blatantly with one amp, that doesn't speak well for anything else they sell. So... do you feel lucky?

Contact Joe directly, see this thread:

There's a special price now for chinese new year's, $310 shipped to the US. I don't think there is a better deal in headphone audio than that right now. Pretty soon the price is going back up to $350, if not higher (he could easily get more for these, imho). Very sweet amp. Skylab has said he thinks sounds better than the DV, and he has told me personally that there is not a SS amp that can touch it for under $1,000.

If you look on the source section there are two threads on HLLY gear. One started by Skylab on the DMK-IV and one by me on the SMK-III. Good luck.
