Quote:   Used to own some d7000s these are not pikcy phones, I heard no noises through any amps I have. a18 has blacker back ground in comparason with some of those amps. I currently have some pk1s/pk2s they sound great with a18. I sold my ue11s long time ago so don't know about iems...

I had been using a18 with my hd650s/q701s/dt990s for last few days. The amp sounds engaging, warm side. I very much like it with q701s/dt990s, punchy, well presentatioin and good bass, probably a bit too warm for hd650s but thats just my taste.

6000?thats 1000$ shall be on par with wa2,v200 and such.....   Anyway the owner of yulong is kind enough to lent me a sample for trial. will report back how it sound after arrival.

I also ordered from headphonia.

Its fully balanced, comes with both balanced and single headphone output. I am looking for a medium size desktop amp for my balanced headphones seems the a18 can fit my needs. Any updates about the releasing date of this amp, and how much?

Quote: I had been wondering not a while ago. I think no one can answer this question even Robert himself cant I guess.   Since read someone here saved considerable money while waiting for the amp. I am totally relaxed. :)   Btw also received a email  confirming the shipping...

Its far more than “not bad”，one of best sounding portable sources there haah

Quote: Or probably mikhai from single power？

I own both. J3 outperforms the touch4 sound wise imo. Touch4 sound a bit boring to me.

Yeah, I have both(solo and the hp-p1). The po on p1 is just a joke even my hm-801 beats it at ease. I wish I was wrong as I really don't wanna carry too many metal boxes for potable use.

Quote: Its phone out is no better than the one on my ipod classic. My solo dac+T5 amp is far more impressive. Haven't tested the lo yet though.

Just right before My last post in this thread. .

Maybe I can answer this question. Said in his last email that new orders take 2-3 weeks shipped from california. They have been working hard to catch up. Sounds he will soon have some in stock to sell?

As an owner of hm801/C4.....I suffered from their huge size. Even with ipod+amp thats too big for me plus a few rubber straps. Nano6 has a tiny body but still need an amp to drive some high impedance monitors/headphones. Anyone build an amp/dac that swallows such tiny dpas into its guts，please...

I was trying to order this amp a few days back. Sent emails but nothing back. Seemed he is busy but how hard that could be? Post up an announcement on his web, 5 minutes?

Garivictor's write up sounds more like an ads than anything else, just like what he wrote for t5 which does has a few down points, whereas he rarely mentioned. Thanks for post it up here anyway.

Quote: Seemed the lord deleted the pics. A few mentioned the player looks a bit different from the prototype pic on the official web not sure that the reason the pics were off. Soon will see then.  

I am looking forward to the impressions.  

I had similar problem. Even tried updating firm ware but still not work. Have just sent it back for refund. 

Logistics has been halted in China. Wondering how they gonna ship the player out even if the production can be done before the Chinese new year.

To me its in the warm side but not too warm. A little Sweet sounding box. Lord seemed you were asking about the small device everywhere, got any idea now?a really excellent usb dac better any of others I owned within the price range.

Quote: Sounds like you were asking for a free gift from someone。 Just a fun gear, not worth it. :)

Single ended. 22.6kg. I need a hand.Btw lord you are friend of fang why not aace him face to face

Wa2 is just fine with hd800s, they sound much better on zdse.
