Extremely fast, they use 2 day UPS shipping i think.

Confirming the super fast delivery times on the boa. Very quick.

Also, no import duty on mine either, they mark them as for review purposes on the shipping info, negating whatever tax.

Which sounds better, the D2 or P2?

This will be my 4th purchase and usually I can't ever get tracking until the day before it is to arrive, which has been 3-5 days. This time I probably wont bug them for tracking unless I don't have it by Friday (6 days). I bought a Boa 24 hours ago, to add to my MINI-REVIEW SEVEN DAC AMPS thread, so I'll post how long it takes to arrive. I haven't heard anything from them, but they usually ship faster than they email with tracking or to confirm the sale.

The P2 sounded better faster/sooner, meaning it was great right out of the box and wonderful by 150 hours (when the charging circuit died), while the stock D2 Viper that replaced it took about 300 hours to become wonderful sounding (see my other review on DAC amps with my burn in notes, as well as in the D2 Viper thread). In the end, the D2 viper was about as good as the P2, using my memory (since the P2 was returned and replaced with the Viper).

Getting on topic re: Boa, Jamato8 reported the Boa was a little bass lite in the first 100 or so hours, and then it filled in, while my Viper was bass heavy until after 200-250 hours when it leveled out. I think Jamato8 likes the Boa as much as he liked his P2. I do have a Boa on the way, should be here by the end of the week, and I will report on it after about 300 hours of burn-in. I do NOT expect it to suck.

can't wait your review HeadphoneAddict

 

[Vilicus]

Can anyone comment on how these sound with Grado cans? Mainly the prestige series.

 

[PixelSquish]

the pico takes too long to order.

i may be getting the hd 650 or denon 2000 soon. what is an amp just above the boa that doesnt take as long to order as the pico?

corda2move?

 

[HeadphoneAddict]

Yes, the 2MOVE is nice with the HD600 and D2000. With the D2000 I think the Pico is a little better. With the RS-1 the 2MOVE was a little better.

just got the boa yesterday.
compared to pico and headsix, boa's output power is not as strong as those two.
its bass is weaker than those two. hopefully, it'll pick up as i use it more.
i am very pleased with boa's treble and highs. it's not as good as pico but better than headsix' imo.
i think boa will be a good match with hd580/600/650.
