I read about this device online and the reviews were very positive - so positive that I jumped in. It was my first headphone amp — I purchased my second, the fiio a5, shortly afterwards.
Take into consideration I am an amateur audio geek...
It is just what everyone says about it; zero background noise; clean sound; no extra color. I did also read that it was a little on the large size to be considered portable, and I agree that it is. However it will fit in the back pocket of my Levi's so I'm still considering it portable.
After comparing it to the fiio a5 for a week I must say I prefer the Objective2. The "uncolored" sound is really more my style. I wasn't sure where I fell on that spectrum... But after comparing, I get it. The objective2 is cleaner, more open. You are not going to find something like a tube amp warmth. But what you will find is your really great recordings in crystal clarity.
Physically it's a nice solid piece of equipment. It has a single red light when it's on. The battery power so far seems to be in line with how it's advertised. I do like that I can replace the batteries easily if I needed to. Little things like that make this a special piece of equipment. The volume control has a wide range so you can adjust it to very specific levels. JDS labs has responded to my queries in almost real time. They are very friendly and accessible.
