I am surprised that I couldn't find a thread on this with the search.

Hmm...only 100 mW output power into 600 ohm? I guess Beyer doesn't want it to power the T1 properly.

100 mW is more than enough to sound extremly loud  with T1 ... . If beyer say that it's also suitable for 600 ohms phones i think that they know what they are doing and it will drive T1 "properly" .
 
And note that A1 also deliver "only" 100 mW at 600 ohms

more mW don't mean that it will drive it better

They make the headphones and the amp. I would think they would certainly sound great together! Why would they even think about releasing an amp with their name on it that didn't sound good on their headphones.

Hey,
 
I got one of these coming from beyer to demo down the road. And yes 100mW is more than enough, but I recommend to have at least 200mW so there's some padding and the amp won't run out of steam.

to me, this a20 amp sounded more pleasant to me than the a1(never a fan and i'm a huge beyer fan, that's enough said).  it was at the hong kong hifi show and playing the t90 and the new t51.  for the price, the representative told me it's going to be around 5000 hk dollars.  that's around 600.  not bad i think.  thinking about getting it when it comes out. 
 
 
ps, for t1.  it's other big boys' job.

Let us know what you think.  If it's good, I'll get one from them too.

I'm very interested in this amp, I may buy it soon. Anyone else have any reviews/impressions to give?
 
I'm thinking maybe its swinging a decent amount of voltage despite its relatively low power output? That seems like something that might work well for a lot of Beyer cans...
