Does anyone know the specs on this? I'm wondering if they'll be able to drive HD650.

300 mW into 32 Ω according to the scanned image from a few posts right before yours.

0.300 W * 32 Ω = 9.6 VRMS^2
9.6 VRMS^2 / 320 Ω = 0.03 W = 30 mW of power at 320 Ω

0.13 mW to reach 90 dB SPL
30 mW = 0.13 mW * 2^x
x = 7.85
90 dB SPL + 3*x = total dB SPL
113.55 = total dB SPL

So yes, it should get sufficiently loud enough assuming the power output is linear from 32 Ω to 320 Ω.

  What a surprise, a company called Schiit designed something that will fit in your butt.
I'm guessing the Fulla will be very popular in prison.

 
ha ha... you've given them a new slogan:
 
Butt... Butt... Schiit!
 

 
Schiit don't work that way.  They don't buy into the usual consumer-frenzy stuff.  When it's done, it's done.

 
Have you read the wonderful (and ongoing) Schiit Happened company biography? All may be perfectly on track, Christmas or no Christmas ...or there may be stuff going on that we'll be laughing at in a future chapter!

I had emailed Schiit yesterday to ask their opinion on which Modi to get with my setup, and also asked in passing if maybe I should wait for the upcoming amp/DAC. Their answer was simply "You could."
 
Thought it was funny. No info whatsoever.

Now that I'm looking at the $180 Nextbook 10.1, with an external CD drive, 64GB MicroSD, and the Fulla, one could get a full audiophile semi-portable computer set up for ~$300.

Or go fully portable with a phone with OTG out and fulla....

 

[mikesale]

  schiit doesn't believe in holidays like black friday or christmas
 
their products will be announced when they are ready. not rushed because of some arbitrary annual pagan ritual.

What! They don't believe it Christmas?!?!?! Someone needs to sit them down in front of the TV and force them to watch Polar Express so we can have our Fulla with bells on!

Might be problematic, Fulla doesn't have a battery, it's usb powered. The phone would die momentarily.

Think this is comparable to the AudioQuest Dragonfly 1.2?

Probably better. At least it has a decent headphone amp built in, delivering 300mW @ 32 Ohm, so it will be suficient for most headphones on it's own. About the DAC, sonically, we'll have to wait to find out, but it has the same chip as Modi.

I am hoping this is not the case.  I am hoping to use a fulla with my Nexus 5, now that the new Android version supports audio via usb.  A lot of portable amps use a 9v battery and last for 10 - 20 hours.  Anyone know for sure?

Android supports usb audio since version 4.3 afaik. As for the batteries Jason said many times that they do not want to deal with batteries as they are problematic and need to go through some sort of certification bureacracy.

Well, I guess I will have to wait and see if some else tries the fulla with their phone.  As for the Android issue, i don't have any first hand knowledge, but various forum discussions regarding the Nexus 5 have kept me from buying an usb based amp for my phone:
 
From an article:
"If you've been itching to use your USB DAC with your Android phones and tablets, get ready: USB audio-out support is coming to our favorite mobile OS, finally, in this fall's "L" release. Android has been without native USB audio support (some OEMs have added it in, but at the moment it's rare)"

Patiently waiting for Fulla to be ready for sale. I have a nexus 5 and intend on using one of these to power the fulla on the go.

This cable should allow me to power a USB device (fulla) from an external power source. So this plus a small rechargeable battery and I should be golden.  
 
 
Likely it'll be this battery. I've had great luck with Anker in the past

Do you not have to root the n5 also?
