Low gain, paired with T&A DAC 8, a truely great sounding combination.

  Hi jacal01,
 
it was in fact one of your first posts in this thread in which you described in very much detail how good the HPA-21 sounded and which made me really curious to find out more about the Bakoon. After I had listened to a borrowed HPA-21 in my system I could not resist to buy one for myself, it was so convincing and so obvious it would bring the sound of my system to another level. Thanks again for having shared your listening experience with a greater audience here on Head-Fi and the inspiration it meant to me to try the HPA-21 myself.

 
Wow.  Didn't think anyone was paying attention waay back then. 

 
Thanks for the confirmation.

Well, welcome to the party, boys.  It's good to be among the initiated, whot?  I reread some of my earlier posts, and it still boils down to "they won't know what they don't know."

Well I ordered the Bakoon HPA-01 for $1200 from the website that shall not be named. 6 days left for the deal. Hopefully it goes through. Anyways, I'm keen to compare it to my Questyle.

Well that would truely be a good deal for the small Bakoon!

I've done the same thing. I'm very curious how the LCD-X will sound through the HPA-01 current output. The LCD-X sounds great with the CMA800R so it will be exciting if this is special as well. I have had a big education in the value of batteries and clean power in Audio recently so I have high hopes for this amp.

Well Bakoon HPA-01 be suitable for IEM users? I am planning to pair it with HUGO.

Anyone compared the HPA-21 with the Master 9?

Wow, i'm a bit interested in that.

Bakoon on their Facebook page have a teaser for new product.  In the comments they say it will be "wonderful for IEM users" but will not be a DAP.  Maybe an AMP/DAC?

I'll wait for that I guess.

I personally haven't, the "secret" behind the Bakoon is its battery power supply and the current amplification whereas the Master 9 I think is a traditional class A voltage amplifier however very nicely put together from what I see at the Audio-gd website. The concepts in both amps target low to none distortion plus minimal negative feedback loop and a clean power distribution.

Headmania had a review on both, but not on the same time.
Wish I can audition those though.
