I will wish to have that as well. I would assume the noise floor will be better given the price and my DAC1's performance. So far this amp has no attention in the comunitiy that I can barely find any review on it.

OK, some initial impressions: Even though it has an IEM port and market to have low noise floor for efficient IEMs. The truth is, it is not very good for highly sensitive multi-driver custom IEMs. When plug in my UM mentor, the noise floor is quite high, and even with -12dB, I think the gain is...

I also felt the upgrade in power does make the bass better for both my T1 and HE6 in terms of quntatiy and quality. Glade you also liking yours~

Just got the amp today. The initial impression is pretty good. The amp have plenty of power to drive most all my phones. Will give it a little bit of time to open up. This is a very space efficient amp and I can just it to my rack 😎

My dealer says they ship directly from New York, so I guess it depends on the region. I assume I am getting the second batch as it is just been shipped yesterday. Hope mine arrived without any issue.

My dealer says they will ship last Firday, but I still have not got any confirmation today. Guess the waiting game continues~

I better contact my local dealer and check for status as well. Seems the first batch is out~

I was also hunting for their quad mono balance amp as I am very happy with their dual mono. So said if they are really gone~

Damn, not even a notice?

Well. I already got my headphone, and there is not much interesting amp around the same price. Hence, I think I will just wait~ It is covid, my GPU, CPU and hard drive took even longer , and most of them are not even new product 🤣

I do not got any update from my vendor either. Guess starting shipping at 25, June is a lie 😂

Well, I assume all THX AAA amp section should look very similar as they are from the same reference design. At least it looked more like the Benchmark HPA4 than the cheaper S.M.S.L. SP200. I am not an expert on analog potential meter, as long as they do not scew up the channel imbalance or...

Haha. I think I will give it a try. It seems to be highly rated by everyone here. The only Hifiman I have is the HE6, which is very old. I am very interested on how much they have been improved over these years.

Fingers crossed. I initially was expecting to use the Sundara for my low quality pop musics. Now after 2 month, I have already got an Emyprean, but still waiting for the amp. :sweat_smile:

got some internal shot from Mytek. The linear power supply does look sexy

Based on the the price, I think this amp is made to compare to the benchmark one. The rest of them are much cheaper. It will be interesting to see if they all perform at the same level regardless of pricing.

It seems they are still not shipping it yet. I am still waiting for mine.

Oh, interesting. Well, we will see if it live up with the hype when I got it~

I am pretty sure all of them have linear PSU right? I think that is the minimal requirement for most of the amps~

I have search the site, but got no review on this. Since I have pre-ordered it, I guess I will start my own impression thread. Here is the product page: https://mytek.audio/shop/liberty-thx-aaatm-headphone-amp-special-285 I think the price sit between the S.M.S.L SP400 and Benchmark HPA4, so...

SO there is a big change they are gone?

It has been a while since I was shopping for a headphone amp, and I still own an Rudistor RPX-35. However, when I try to go back to their official website, it seems to be shutdown already. Did they went bankrupt?

We share the exact understanding. Hence I am very skeptical about those foobar optimizations and people claim been able to hear sound differences among difference versions. Either their DAC is really bad, or their PC is super slow. I have not been able to tell the difference among different...

I think you will need to use PC to reload the firmware using the android debugging software. You can send email to Ibasso, and they will give you clear instuction on how to do it.

Thanks you very much, this is exactly what I needed. I will trust the DAC and USB chip designer much more for jitters reduction than believing it can be reliably achieved through software ;) I do not care about the "optimization" that I can not hear any difference from. Instead, I want to run...
