Interesting concept. I use my Aria as a preamp to a crapass Onkyo R1 (mostly for convenience), but had never considered preamping a headphone amp for any reason. I probably won't do it, but it's nice to know I can.
I am hope hope hoping the Darkvoice makes my K340 happy. I have started using the Aria/K340 at home for medical transcription editing (where I need to review doctors' dictation and detail is of the utmost importance) and the K340 is by far the best headphone I've used for this purpose. I may shift the Aria to my desk at work, and it will be a little odd to hear tube glow/goodness of the Darkvoice coloring dictated audio.
I noticed in the e-mail from Jian Liu a mention of a three-day shipping time, but no mention of the ten-day wait to have the amp converted for 110 voltage. Does anyone know if they've eliminated this wait time? That would be swell.
