  I guess from your answers that my choice is not really... a choice. I'll see if I can get a Fulla in the near future.
 
Thanks you both for you help 

 
I wouldn't be so quick to jump on the Fulla bandwagon until a few more positive testimonials hit the forums (like this one).  While it sounds like SQ is good with the Fulla, the build quality and proper operational consistency seems to be seriously lacking at this point.  Frustration with the volume pot not working correctly, and it being somewhat of an inconvenience to use (for some, not all), the enclosure itself being described by some as too sharp, etc...etc...
 
I ordered a FiiO E10K and should be receiving it today or tomorrow.  I went with a better built product with a much better track record as far as build quality and reliability goes, and if it doesn't quite reach the sound quality of the Fulla in certain areas, so be it!  I'll take trouble-free performance for a slight drop in SQ anyday.  After all, these little amp/DACs are about convenience.
 
I also find that there is a lot of hyperbole whenever a new product is introduced and new buyers want to show how much they love their new purchase.  You can find these kinds of exaggerations on almost every thread that is the subject of a new product.  You can find some in the thread for the E10K!
 
I am genuinely intrigued by the Fulla and down the road will probably pick one up (or its V2 version), but for now it just seems to be too much of a risk taking into account all the problems new Fulla owners are having.  Prospective buyers might want to give Schiit a little time to work out all the bugs before snagging one.

I've got a first run and a new unit. I had a host of problems with the first unit but the replacements are rock solid.

Great news, now you can enjoy properly

Can anyone please comment how the Fulla will perform with a bass heavy headphone like the X1? Would it balance out the headphone since the X1 has mellowed highs and darker lows? Im going to plug the fulla into my laptop. I already like the soundstage on the X1, will this expand further? Would it be able to power two headphones with a splitter cable? or should I buy the E07K with two outs?
 
Also, at how much volume do you think the fulla are too loud for you?

I don't need anything besides the headphone out, perhaps the bass boost might come in handy, but the only use I would give the amp/dac would be with headphones and a laptop.

If your source is a laptop, then most music player software is going to have something at least as good as a hardware bass boost in software anyway..

Anybody using the Fulla with Grados?

Anyone got the Fulla to work on a MacBook Pro? I don't know why it's not detected on my laptop, it's working fine on my Desktop pc though and it sounds really good with the LCD-2

Edit: nvm, plugging and unplugging for 8472431 times seems to fixed the problem

It sounds great with X2s, although treble is slightly gritty but the overall presentation is still pretty enjoyable. It might settle down since both are new.
 
I can't use it past 8 o'clock or so. It's very powerful.

The problem with the MacBook Pro is that the output power of the USB ports is to low on older models, a friend of mine has a Fulla and has the same experience. You can fix it by plugging it in before booting your MacBook 

 On my Late 2013 MBPr and iMac it works like a charm!

Yep, like I said before, sounds good with my PS500's.

  I need to wait, because santa sucked up all my money 

Fulla is on the purchase list and hopefully I can enjoy them in 2 weeks. 
Really excited to see what it does to my Hifiman HE-400.

If you have the chance, try the Lyr 2 with your HE400. I've had them for 2 years and powered them with the Magni 1 from Schiit and just upgraded to a Lyr 2. It really opens up the bass and makes these headphones sound so damn good, now I'm spoiled and will get rid of the Magni 

 
 
What amp are you using now?

 

[SpienerVince]

Currently I am using my iPhone 6 and an Indeed G2 clone. Or my MacBook Pro Retina. If your selling your magni/modi stack, tell me

Good to know, Thanks!

Using it with both SR80e and SR325is. It's a great match with the SR325is as it tames the brightness a bit while preserving the details and clarity.
