Had been shopping around for awhile for an amp to go between my iPod nano and my Grado SR-60s. My older HD iPod drove the Grados pretty well, but the nano seems to have a less-robust amp.
Anyway, I'm excited about the prospects for this one. Was originally looking at sub-$50 cmoys, then considering Penguin, Headphonia, C&C, etc. You know how it goes. Finally spending a lot more than I had planned but I think it will be worth it and there are recordings I think will benefit from the crossfade circuit.
Have a nice dock line-out cable on the way. I suppose this will all keep me happy till I decide I need an iMod or something with external DAC, and more expensive cans and ...
You know how it goes!
I chose the Porta over the Move as it's a lot cheaper and I really don't need the USB DAC. My PC has a Chaintech AV-710 and I'm really quite happy with the sound I get out of the front panel headphone jack.
Cheers,
John
