No worries. I just received it and opened it. I listened for an hour and was totally impressed by the level of quality I was hearing. A very dynamic listen. The staging is spacious and accurate and one area that instantly demanded my attention.. Clearly the amp showcases it’s technical prowess . Noise free and very transparent. It is a surprisingly full sound given the clarity and transparency.

It comes set default to high gain and I am going to experiment with switching to low gain, as soon as I can find something to flip the toggles. The gain settings are inside by the batteries not a switch on the outside of the unit. More to come ...

Bought it July 3rd, received August 1st. Was originally supposed to take 3 weeks from order to ship, but he was waiting on interconnects from Brise. I bought it direct from MK

Any one get some comparison with 475 vs Aroma A100TB?

The two greatest portable amps available (IMO). Both Japanese, both offering a different presentation, both unique. The Mass Kobo is all about precision, accuracy, and speed; the Bakoon gives voice to something more enigmatic but no less resolving and addictive. #ShortReview

Hi, i have mass kobo 475 and was looking for a small rack like in the photo above, can you please share the link ? Thanks

Hi, sorry. I’m not too active here anymore. The 475 is a neutral/transparent amp that is very punchy and dynamic, it’s also got a nice full bodied sound presentation. It’s a bit more attention grabbing with its dynamics versus something more laid back and softer like the Tsuranagi, but I can’t imagine anyone hearing the 475 and being unhappy with it. As with anything, synergy will be key and some IEMs don’t scale up as much as others.

Hi, i need to decide between 475 and Tsuranagi, not sure which one is good for long listening? I guess 475 has one advantage that we can change batterie….

For long listening I’d personally prefer Tsuranagi, it’s less dynamic/contrast-y and a warmer sound to me.

Crosspost from another thread. My case arrived for the Mass Kobo 475. Excellent quality and craftsmanship, very pleased how it turned out. Found it on EBay, but had to design it. Many options for design and received it in around 3 weeks.

Hello MASS-Kobo owners! I have a question re: MASS-Kobo 428 (475). Will power of this amplifier be sufficient to drive Abyss Diana TC? Thank you!

Has anybody tried 475 with RS8? What improvements did 475 bring to the RS8, any impressions?

Thank you
