I ordered one of these a couple of days back too, just waiting for them to arrive. @7S Cameron I found this page here detailing a fake, you might want to compare them when yours arrives. http://bbs.kakaku.com/bbs/J0000003711/SortID=15271348/

I can't believe people are already making takes for these lol. They aren't even that expensive to begin with. I really appreciate the link, I wasn't sure how I was going to teat the legitimacy of these.

Well, they were announced in June of 2011 and readily available by fall 2011 so they are about 1.5 years old. Well enough time to determine if they are a popular enough target for their efforts

I just recieved my Arcatron HDA-100 amp, so here are some quick pics:
 
The unit arrived in 4 days and looks to be in good condition. The case appears to be well built for the the $23 I paid. It certainly looks like its intended to be industrial/studio use rather than for hobbyists. No idea how it sounds yet though, because I don't know how its supposed to be hooked up (see below)
 

The amp itself
 

A picture of its internals. The opamp is a TI TL072CP if anyone's familiar with it
 

The audio input, anyone know how its supposed to be connected? There's a separate +, -, and ground for left and right channels

Oh, wow...I have never seen that one before. Maybe it needs its own thread to get that sorted out (in the amp forum). I'm sure there's an amp nerd somewhere who can help us out.
 
EDIT: Could those be speaker wire clips?
 
DOUBLE EDIT: I made a thread posting the picture and asking what the connection was and how it could be hooked up to a computer.
 
TRIPLE EDIT: I think I hit cancel instead of submit when creating the thread. Whoops!

No they're not clips. It's called a Euroblock.

I got it to play after messing around with a TRS plug and some speaker wires! It's not perfect since its going from a unbalanced source into a balanced input, but at least I can listen to it now and I have to say the sound quality is well worth the price! I'll have to listen a bit longer before I can say anything more about it, but in the meantime here's the DIY plug I made:
