Little Dot VII+

General Information

The Little Dot MK VII+ is a fully balanced, dual-mono headphone amplifier with single-ended compatibility. The circuit is composed of four independent channels with LME49710HA pre-stage and discrete BD139/BD140 transistor output stage. The four independent channels are fed by dual double-wound toroidal transformers with double rectification and four independent regulators which constitute a true “dual-mono” architecture.

The input and output XLR jacks are Swiss-made locking Neutrik for superior conductivity and durability. The input RCA jacks are premium American CMC and the 6.35mm output headphone port is also a locking Neutrik jack. The volume control is a Japanese ALPS potentiometer for exceptional tracking and smooth rotation. Premium hand-selected resistors are used throughout the circuit alongside German WIMA / CHEMI-COM capacitors. The Little Dot MK VII+ is an OCL (output capacitor-less) design which provides an unmatched level of sound purity as components in the signal path are minimized to reduce distortion and imparting color to the sound. Extremely low output impedance and high damping factor coupled with immense power output ensures iron control of any headphone driver. The Little Dot MK VII+ delivers an unmatched level of transparency with unbound dynamic range, lightening quick transient response, and thunderous low frequency impact.

1000+ Head-Fier
Pros: Balanced, and robust
Cons: Not very strong enough to drive the latest planar drive headphone.
I am using it in balanced mode, and the sound is amasing.
It has excellent sound stage, and enough resolution so that I can hear musical instrument well separated.
The bass is not very emphasized, and treble is enough extended to higher region.
 
The connection is very sturd, reliable, heat management through strong aluminium housing.
It keeps every virture of amp that sould provider a listner with.
 
This machine drives HE-400 wonderfully, and it drives HE-5LE decently in all balanced mode.
When it is compared with Emotiva mini-x fed by Matrix mini in balanced mode for He-400, the sound quality is equivalent or at least not bad with respect to classical music listening.
When it si compared with Emotiva mini for He-5le, the sound is not wider than with Emotiva.
 
When you listen the rite of Spring of Stravinsky to this amp and HE-400, you will know how wonderfully it delivers the sound.
However it has some trouble with HD 650 in classical music listening in comparison with HE-400.
