Looks very similar to another blue portable dac I own and love

This looks great

Wow! 3x the price of the EarMen Tr-Amp.

 

[Abrahans]

What a surprise, the Tr-Amp sounds great, but this with balanced, mqa studio, more power, I'll be waiting reviews on sound.

I'm writing a review for Mojo2, are you guys going to do a round robin so I can compare?

It's not a bad idea, so maybe

I calculated the max output power on balance is 2.256W@ 32 ohm, is that correct?
Even the SE can get 1.62W @ 32 ohm, that is some power!

I'd be keen to hear how this compares to the Dethonray Honey (as well as the IFI micro signature).

I've had a disaster with my Honey. The USBC port broke and then my device got lost in the mail on its way to Dethonray for repair. I'm now in the market for a replacement. At the moment it looks like a choice between the Angel or just getting a replacement Honey... unless Dethonray decide to release a Honey H2, which would really spice up the market!

I might be able to help with that would you find it relevant to have a comparison to something like the XDSD Griffin as well

Thank you - much appreciated.

I'm not personally considering the Gryphon as an option as I'm not looking to connect via Bluetooth. Someone else may benefit, and if you have the means and time to do that comparison too, I'm sure they'd be grateful.

Cheap as borscht

Well, I believe it’s more than just a Bluetooth all in one I’m actually really impressed with how well it works wired

It’s possible that I may not be able to compare with iDSD Signature but I will be able to compare it to Diablo and Gryphon which sit above and below that price point

Ah - I see. In that case it will be helpful. The Gryphon, Diablo and Signature all share the same DAC so presumably they'll sound similar

What headphones are you using? Going to sit down with iDSD Signature now actually! An I'll circle back to Diablo & Gryphon shortly after haha
