The headphone out of my phone isnt powerful at all, products like this have always got my attention due the size, i think this might be the perfect on the go solution for people like me who use there phone as a dap. Looking forward to see who the lucky winners are.

I looked over the full specifications page but did not see a clarification of the number of volume steps. I would love to pair this with my RHA MA750 and iPod shuffle for gym/running use!

EDIT:From BloodyPenquin's review

  64 volume levels + mute for volume fine tuning via separate volume + and – buttons.

Classic is the new black.

 
Black is not classic. Never was, never will be. So please stop being wrong.

I'm genuinely curious as to why you have such a bone to pick with the assertion that black is classic

Because you are trying to assert that black is classic in order to get a boring black colored A1 and black is boring.

Thanks for turning someone's generosity into a personal pissing contest.  I hope neither of you comes close to winning this.  Show some class would ya.

I believe Johnny Cash would disagree...

More specifically when will it be a standalone product on Aliexpress rather than bundled with the ex1, and what will be the retail price

I wonder how it compares with the E12 amp...........

E12 is way ahead of A1 in power offering, isn't it? It drives even my 600 ohm DT 990 effortlessly and beautifully. Offers really sexy low THD when it is at it.  
 
On the other hand, A1 is more portable and more suitable for IEMs and low impedance headphones like Final Audio Design - Pandora Hope VI. And it also an excellent doctor amp for all those impedance mismatches that happen when you pair a phone or a DAP with an IEM or headphone with not enough or too much damping factor. All FiiO amplifiers and DAC/Amps offer very good (less than 1) output impedance which is quite noteworthy.

 

[seanwee]

btw whats the output impedance on these?

Would something between 0.5 and 1 win your favour?

Wow! So tiny and nicely designed. This would be a great pairing with an iPod shuffle for ultra portable setup. It would be interesting to see how it can drive my 350 Ohm IEMs and how it would pair soundwise.
