Yes, and ZMF brought several of the new Caldera Closed that was impressing a lot of CanJammers. I was able to test the new Meze Liric II at the LTA table. Enjoyed it and the Velo made my DCA Aeon 2 Noires that I brought with me sound great. I see this amp in my future maybe in a year or so after I cycle out some gear.
I'm interested in the Velo--though will all the amps I have here, I really need a checkup from the neck up for even typing this.
Unfortunately, by the time I got near the LTA booth (which had a velo set up), my ears were already blown and I couldn't face another headphone audition at high enough volumes to actually hear the thing under noisy show conditions.

Yes, they had the Liric II on hand and gave it a whirl.
Very pretty with the Macassar Ebony and comfortable. Likewise because the LTA table was in the main exhibit hall I also had to turn the volume up higher than normal to account for the crowd. Still it was enough to give a me a good feeling with this amp.
"Checkup from the neck up" is something NYC radio DJ Don Imus used to say. I despised the man (his humor was often cruel and misogynistic), but some of his sayings stayed with me (unlike a great many other memories, including where I was yesterday).

Does only one LED light up at all time around the volume pot? Or do all the lights up to current position light up when changing volume (and the single dot is a “dim mode”)?
If you come up with a justification method that works let me know. If I count speaker amps I think I'm already at 10, with one on the way. I'm starting to plan little listening nooks all over the house to make myself feel better about it. There is one more I'm certain I'm going to buy, and I've been having disturbing thoughts about DIY projects. The saving grace in regards to the Velo is that I already have an MZ3 that I actually use as an integrated more than a headphone amp.

10 is for all the amps, HP and speaker combined. The MZ3 is the only one that is both, but since it tripped me down the HP rabbit hole I've added a few.
Having choices is great. A few of each component and the permutations of listening possibilities multiply, literally.

When you change the volume, all of the LEDs up to the current position light up. After you've stopped turning the knob or using the remote they time out and only the current position remains illuminated. Since each LED represents more than one step (33 LEDs, 128 steps), the leading LED subtly increases (going up) or decreases (going down) in brightness for each step before the current position moves to the next LED. Regardless of which brightness level you stop on, the idle level after time out will be the same.
Effort has been made to make the Velo LEDs as comfy on the eyes as possible.
