Btech 928 Headphone Amp - bought at Richer Sounds in London

 

I bought one of these because I wanted a headphone amp in the hope that my M-Audio audiophile sound card (via headphone amp) would sound better than the headphone socket of my PC, which runs off a basic (though rather good) realtech PC audio chipset.

 

There is a (very) favourable write-up on the Internet on a web site that's the first thing you will find if you google this Btech 928 piece of garbage.

 

My god it's crap.

 

Plenty of comments on head-fi tell it how it really is - wooly, muffled etc - you have to turn the tone knob to the right (towards treble) to clear up the muffled wooliness - and it still sounds crap.

 

I don't know why anyone bothers. I'm taking this Btech 928 back to the shop, never to darken my door again!
