I currently own the Bravo Audio Ocean Hybrid amp and i find its design to be sub-par. It gets extremely hot after just 20 minutes of use. It also leaks current, probably because of its ungrounded power supply.
The leaked current travels to my Both my FiiO X1 and my CKR-9s. This causes a "vibrating" sensation when i touch my X1 and there will be a feeling similar to painful static discharge when the aluminium part of my CKR-9s touches my ear. Any metallic parts on headphones and earphones will also discharge static.
Worst of all , there is a humming sound whenever i plug in my ear/headphones that can only be silenced by touching the metal body of the already extremely hot amp.
The sound is nice and all but the design is just horrible.
Are there any good Budget amps for under $150?
OR
Is there a cheaper option (Buying a grounded power supply to end the current leak and the humming sound but then there's still the heat problem)
