For some reason there's no thread for Mass Kobo stuff in portable audio to discuss about it.
I got a chance to loan a Mass Kobo 475. Did an initial impression and I have to say I am impressed. I have many amps that is still sitting around waiting for me to do a review, but the out of box impression and initial comparison made the 475 a really interesting headphone amp that I have to review first.
Personally, I think the Mass Kobo 475 has a better detail retrieval, imaging and separation than even the Ferrum Oor. Im pretty sure it's got to do with the amp design.
Contrary to its rather below average specs, it powers anything from my IEM to even my DCA stealth without any distortion and clipping. It only played badly with me Simgot EA1000, alot of ground loop and static for that. Else everything was great, even the absolutely power hungry Moondrop para.
