Tremendous amp for full-size cans. I am using it with an iBasso DX50 = my best portable rig for my DT990 250 ohms and my Sennheiser HD520II. Powerful and clean sound
Not for IEMs though, because of a good amount of hiss on low impedance earphones... You can find it at lower prices on Aliexpress.

Does it produce any heat? Those power transistors look scary for a headphone amp.

Seems a good setup, though I need to upgrade my cmoy amp w/LM4562 for portable use both with IEMs and HD600

I didn't notice any excessive heat from mine...
Well, as you can see on the picture, the silicone case of my DX50 doesn't seem to melt.

Haha thought so, was just asking : ) Because first time I've seen transistors so big on a portable solid state amp.

Lol...I hear you. I guess Fidue a83 or dunu will be a close competition if you care about high resolution music, I think Duoza FR is not considered high res ? I have seen the Japanese brand high-res on anything more than 30khz

You do realize that the Hi res branding maybe more of a marketing thing than just pure performance The logo presence or lack there of, isn't really an indication of absolute performance. IMO

Aune B1 portable amp looks fantastic.

Nothing is better/worse, especially phones above the 300$ price-point. They are only different.

Not true. The better ones are the ones that I like!

Well I read somewhere in another language the im-03 is dry but accurate, and neutral as the total opposite of im-04 a blend of smooth, fun, musical. The im-04 is not an upgrade of im-03. They are different beast all together. If you want musical, fun, full sounding it gotta be 04. If you want accuracy neutral it will be 03

should we add the "new" Xiaomi Mi Headphones?
