I didn't say as strong, I was talking sound quality. But while on the subject, I don't recall him definitively saying how strong it would be in relation to the DACmini, I know he's said the goal is to balance off battery life with the ability to drive just about any headphone with the exception of the worst cases like HE-6 and K1000's. As far as I know they haven't finalized that balance yet though but if they're able to achieve that goal then I expect it should be in the ballpark of the DACmini.
Edit: I know that before and during CANJAM CEntrance was using a less beefy version of the amp but have since decided to forgo that idea. Here's a recent post from Michael from the M8 thread.

Not to highjack the thread but Michael was very clear that the M8's AMP was not going to be as strong. I hope I'm wrong as I'm on the list but its
FWIR.

Yes, we are on track for the more powerful version. This assumption was tested at CANJAM in Denver. The flimsier chip didn't pass muster. We are going for gusto with the M8! LCD should be no problem.
