Is this amp any good? Taking a look at it for the splitting function, and for a nice portable amp

Good day
Sorry for the delay.
I have this unit, and it will not do much for you as a stand alone headphone amp.
Unit only shows it's true colours when you put it between a good headphone amp like the Fiio's / Cayin 5 and your IEMs / headphones.
The Bass Traveler is more like a EQ for Baseheads like me, with 3 hard points of bass EQ to pick from.
From my phone, I run my music through my Cayin 5 with bass boast on, then I run it through the M-Audio Bass Traveler, then from there to my Sony XB90's.
With the two base settings on the Cayin 5, and 3 on the Bass Traveler, I have 6 setting to play with to find the right sound.
WARNING!!
This is very heavy on the bass, and recommended for bass lovers only.
Quality of Sound
For portable sound, I'm very impressed with what I'm hearing. It's not a Beats buzzy bass. It sounds very clean and natural, just lots of it. As a basshead, I have always had to make do with what I could find, and afford, living with sub-par bass levels. I now have more bass then I can handle, and that says allot for me.
Is there better, ya, it's in my bedroom, sitting on my desk, almost coming in at $1000.00.
With the Bass Traveler coming in at +- $30.00 it's a steel for anyone who is bass hungry, and on a budget.
It really does leave you with a Wow feeling the first time you use it.
Thx, I sure will order one to try it out.
I sure will, this should help other bass lovers as well. I currently have Fiio E07k which actually does a great job with its bass drive (+10) setting on my JVC DX1000. This will be my intial setup with M-Audio bass traveler.
I am looking to get a portable amp that is worthy to drive my TH900 in to bass head level, I dont EQ so stock hard wired bass boot is the way to go, seems like numerous options (Fiio E17 Alpen, JDS Lab C5D, Cayin C5, Fiio E12, Ifi Micro-Ican SE, Vorzuge VorzAMP Duo and Headstage Arrow 6TX) I have to figure out one to pick that will last for a while....
More to come..
