Never heard the Lite, and only heard the GS-1 briefly under poor conditions (noisy background). It sounded wonderful. From what I read it sounds like the A100 shares a similar sound sig with the GS-1. Both seem to have that "wire with gain" type of sound. Beyond that I couldn't say.

Just want to add a couple points I've noticed on the build quality of my A100 I've just received. The amp is still burning in, so I won't comment on the sound quality yet. The VU meters on my unit were canted upon delivery. Although this is an easy fix, it does require cracking the lid open to straighten them out. I also observed that they are wired incorrectly with respect to the left and right channels. A signal input that is solely coming through the left channel will make the right side VU meter dance. This is probably also a quick wire swap, but it does indicate a lack of attention to detail.

Some may think these are pointless quibbles. Call me er, particular. It bothered me to the point of having to fix it!  Otherwise, the amp seem fairly well constructed.

Just received it, so far so good, compared to my ol' maverick A1 there is a really noticeable gain in terms of clarity, sharpness (micro-detail) and silence. It really is high-fidelity as you expect it from a good amp, it has tons of power and that's great it can drive easely my he-4 cans in the low

impedance input.

Thanks project 86 for your accurate reviews.

 

The specs says it all, class a, very low THD (one of the lowest I have seen), extremely silent and tons of power, this is a great product.

Thanks for this amazing review. Not only was it nice to read, it also showed me how interesting this head-amp really is. I already was glancing at it.

Now I'am a very happy owner! Using it with AKG Q701 headphones.

It already sounded good right from the start. With the burn-in (of the cans only, I guess) it sounds even better, just a tad warmer without loosing the clarity and it's so airy.
