It's the same amp as is discussed here:

which is almost certainly based on the same circuit as Onkyo use in their upmarket integrateds and receivers (5532 op amp, BD139/140 transistors, 2200uf power caps), which is discussed here:
http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/...s-onkyo-a-9555
and favourably compared to a well-respected $800 dedicated HP amp. Why am I interested in this? Because I own an Onkyo 9555 integrated which uses this circuit and I'd like to know more about it--plus it would appear to be something of a real bargain if published impressions are any guide. It certainly sounds the business through the Audeze LCD-2, but I just wondered if anyone had bought one of the Ebay amps and if so what they thought. If not, maybe someone would like to invest $50 and let us all know.
