Would be very interested to hear if anyone has heard the unit at a meet or took the early plunge and would care to offer some impressions!

The Little Dot X1 leverages 10+ years of amplifier design expertise to present the pinnacle in Little Dot performance and audio quality. Developed as the ultimate general purpose amplifier, the Little Dot X1 pushes a massive 6W per channel into current hungry low impedance headphones, and over 1W per channel into 300 ohm loads. The precision components, including Kendeil, Vishay, ELNA and SILMIC II silk capacitors, were carefully chosen for maximum synergy; delivering unparalleled purity of sound, bombastic dynamics, silky details, and three dimensional sound-stage imaging.
The Little Dot X1 is a fully balanced amplifier featuring two sets of balanced outputs: a 4-pin XLR as well as a 2x 3-pin XLR output which can also be used as a pre-amp output. Single-ended functionality is also supported via a standard 6.35 mm TRS headphone jack. On the input side, the rear panel contains a set of 3-pin XLR inputs as well as a pair of RCA jacks. The Little Dot X1 actively converts single-ended input into a fully balanced signal so you can enjoy maximum audio performance without the need of a balanced source.
