Interesting
It super with any headphone I tried it with when I owned it. The 701 went up to another level as did the the D7000 also worked well with my T1

Anything Wrong?
More important, Every our buyer is happy!
Here is the Chinese Version:
The Matrix M-Stage arrived this morning. I've been listening to it for a few hours through my K701 and so far it sounds amazing. Here are some initial impressions:
Its bigger than I expected. Its long, thick, and built like a tank. Very sturdy, well made product. It runs a little warm, but so do a lot of electronics so thats not a big deal.
As far as sound goes, my AKGs sound better than they ever have. The Matrix adds a great punch to the low end. All of my EDM songs slam a bit better, and the bass extension is much more impressive. I'm hearing bass lines that I didn't hear before because the K701 wasn't getting enough power. Songs that I also thought were sibilant are no longer so, and the entire spectrum of sound seems much more refined. Soundstage has opened up a bit, providing more depth than the headphones originally did.
So far, I'm loving this amp. I have no regrets choosing this for my first amp, and my AKG K701 sound better than they ever have. In another review, someone stated that the Matrix makes the K701 "come alive" and that describes this pairing perfectly.
After some more extensively listening, I may write another extended set of impressions in a new thread.
Thanks Head-fi, for pushing me towards the audiophile path.
Just made the order thanks to you! Good and badAnd thanks to someone saying Hlly shipped the matrix with one of their own amps. Can't wait for them to arrive!

very cool. I just got mine today and I think you'll very much like it. I posted my initial impressions over on the Matrix mstage thread in case anyone is interested. Very neutral amp....highs are a bit shrill at this point even on HD650s, but I hope burn-in will help it out. No more sennheiser veil!
I look forward towards hearing how the ibasso compares to the mstage...a built in hp out versus a dedicated one.
