New Head-Fier
Pros: Sound stage, clarity, build quality.
Cons: Nothing
Where do I start? Everyone who likes audio reproduction has heard of the Objective 2. Epiphany Acoustics has done a great job of building this amp and I'm a very happy owner!

New Head-Fier
Pros: Flat sound, good build quality, low price.
Cons: RCA input jacks reversed, poor quality 6.3mm adapter.
This is my first amp so bear with me lol.
 
I bought this from ebay with minimal fuss and didn't have to wait long. I quickly plugged it in and had a listen, first thing I noticed was the audio sounded weird, soon worked out the RCA inputs are marked wrong, even the colours are wrong but not a serious problem just a quick switch around (the 3.5mm input is fine).
 
The second issue I had was with the 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter, it must have been a low quality job as any movement caused the audio to corrupt, threw the adapter away and plugged one of many I had laying around.
 
The sound quality is very flat and hardly changes from my Xonar DS (LME49860NA). I could say it feels a little brighter but only seem to notice it in foobar2000.
 
To be honest I didn't really need an amp for my RX900's or the 668B's (although the 668B's were causing me problems) but having the convenience to manage my headphones on my desktop is bliss.

I came across this product since I'm looking for a really simple amp.  I'm not looking for much in the feature department - just want to connect my headphones to the RCA switch that I use for my old Super Nintendo and N64 lol.  Glad to see some impressions so thanks for the review!

Have been using the 'Phiree mini ear'  version for a few weeks now and am most impressed. The sound is full and detailed. Treble sweetly clear and not overly bright. Mids are forward but not aggressive. Bass goes deep and remains strong and articulate. Volume goes amply loud even with HE400 and DT880 (250). Also works well with 16 Ohm in ears. Silent background allows full use of vol pot, which seems to increase volume exponentially as you raise it, so you need to be careful not to overload low impedance cans. Sound-stage is good, though not as big as more expensive amps.
Excellent small desktop amplifier.

Hi and thanks for all comments.
Has anyone tried a better power adapter than the stock one ?
I have the feeling that its quality is not so high. 
Thanks and regards,  gino
