I just ordered Sig DJs and am hoping Vamp will power them properly.  I have heard the Leckerton has great SQ, but doesn't have a ton of power and may not bring out the bass potential of the Sig DJ as the C&C could at a lower price point.  I am also considering the FiiO E12 and JDS C5.

Thanks H20, this looks great and might dive into this.

 

Can you please tell me how sturdy this thing is. Can it take a few drops if it happens. Are the buttons and jack well built into the unit... not to worry about loose connections in the future?

The amplifier housing is quite solid and constructed of aluminum, which includes the oval outer shell and both ends. Each switch is firm and won't slip out of place if bumped. The jacks are different to the plasticky type you would find on FiiO or other similar products, each jack is also constructed of metal built tightly into the frame. They have an outer ring that sits above the casing slightly. They feel different plugging them in at first compared to what some might be used too sliding in very easily, then locking in towards the end, you will hear a slight click. They're not loose, or flimsy just a different sensation the first few times.

I think it would handle a few drops yes, feels pretty firm in hand I can't really fault the build besides a tiny gap mine has between the housing and front end plate where it doesn't sit absolutely flush, I'd be being pretty picky though in mentioning it.

And... I'm done with the comparison to E12. I'm quite surprised by the results, too...

Well, back to the drawing board. Kind of a bummer

I'm still in love with the BH. The clarity, soundstage, generous bass Boost, size, and dual outputs make it a winner for me.

I'm curious how I will like the E12 in comparison. Considering it'll be my second serious portable amp, I'll be wowed for sure (again).

oh, how'd you get yours in silver?

I couldn't be more swayed by the qualities of the E12. I have a pair of Q701's that I feel would work well with amp but I've also heard the exact opposite so I'm a bit skeptical. Once Amazon gets it I can test it with the 30 day no questions return guarantee.

Well, from that members opinion BH did well next to E11, E17, E10, E7, CmoyBB, C421, which I think is quite an accomplishment, I never really created the thread to knock down E12 more so for members to experience an upgrade from E11 and similar amps without busting their wallets. 80 hours, the size and SQ suits me just fine.

1) Fiio E12
2) JDS Labs O2 (no longer have this, so take this with a grain of salt)
3) C&C BH
4) JDS Labs C421 (no longer have this, so take this with a grain of salt)
5) cmoyBB w/ OPA627 (no longer have this, so take this with a grain of salt)
6) Fiio E11
7) Fiio E17
8) Fiio E10
9) Fiio E7


BH didn't do to bad, I'd be interested to see what others think as well! smile.gif

I think its only fair to add the C5 to this amp vs amp.

They're all recently released or praised in the case of the BH.

If you read this post here C&C BH has been around for about 2.5 years. Appears BH just slipped through the radar here for some time.

Its the size of the E12 thats killing it for me. Maybe if someone out there still believes and tests that the C&C BH is better than the E12, it would convince me just enough to purchase one.

I know it's been around for a few years, re-read what I said, I think my grammar is correct. 

 

I also meant to post that in the vs thread. I posted it on mobile. My mistake.
