Would love to try [any] Bakoon amp one-day but that is very big. Not sure it is any more portable than a battery-powered desktop RWA amp in the sense would not be taking that to the shops or something either!

It is definitely more transportable that RWA amp.    I cannot imagine bringing Isabellina out, in my balcony is ok.

How is the SQ different between Bakoon HDA 5520 vs RWA isabelini ?

And i read In Your impression SQ Wise Wagnus is better than Bakoon.,
Bakoon is bigger

Bakoon is more powerful and can really drive bigger headphones.   SQ wise, RWA maintained the warm signature of tube amp and has that silky smooth musicality and relaxing sound signature.   But it somehow lacks the power to really create a stronger impression as mine is SE only and not balanced compared with Bakoon driving AK240 for example.   I am thinking of sending it back to RWA to have it upgraded with balanced output to really make it sing.     Bakoon amp sounded less refine but as headphone amp for harder to drive phones, it does the job pretty well as can't think of any portable amp which has its power.    Wagnus S is still great for all genres of music and that wide soundstage is just second to none in the portable arena.    Audeze LCD-XC pairs well with Bakoon, while AKG 812pro pairs well with Wagnus.    IMO.

It appears you have to remove the batteries and re-charge them with an external charger, since I cannot spot any power input in the pictures.
Correct?


You are right , the minus think from Bakoon only ones
Every time I must take out and charge the 12 AA batteries with external batteries charger
At least I must have two charger and 24 AA batteries :D
