Yes, yes... As the name of the thread suggests I'm looking into expanding the sonic potential of my iPod and UE Super.fi 5 PROs... (read as I would like help choosing a first portable headphone amp).

I have seen this message from someone with the Super.fi 5 pro in the Headsix thread :

"Hello all, lurk mode off. I was not home when Canada Post dropped mine off, so I had to wait 24 hours to check it out. Well it has been running and getting sweeter every day. I have used my Sansa and IPOD with LOD (also bought from Dr. Meier) and am very impressed. I seem to be finding that my music is getting farther away from my headphones (FI5pro) and lots more detail. Hurry up and get yours before they are all gone. If you are using an IPOD I suggest getting the Qables line out dock at the same time. Well worth it, the PA2V2 is a great stepping stone, but the Headsix ....."
