Just a mini review on this unit.. and a few questions
I received the unit 2 days ago so hasn't much burn in time on it.
Paired with Iaudio 7 and Audéo PFE first impression was that the amp was a nice improvement over stock sound of the iaudio7. Being that this is my first amp really can't comment on it compared to other amp. I do have to say I was very pleased by what I heard.
First thing I noticed was that it opened up the sound of the music. I was able to listen at the same volume but music now has much more detail than with out amp. There is some hiss at higher volume but after readjusting the iaudio 7 eq I was able to clear it up. Guess the best comment I can give is I found myself listening to my portable unit over home system the last 2 days.
Now for the bad news on build of unit. The one I received had issues with the jacks for the line in and also for the headphones there just not a tight fit and seems low quality. I can not listen to music on the go cause of this (cuts in and out with even the smallest movement). I already have contacted seller and debating at this point rather to get a refund or exchange.
Before I make a decision on this figured I'll ask here if anyone else had build issues with the minibox f or D (since I think they share sames connections).
Like I said I am please by the sound but the jack connection on this unit scare me off a little. I'm already having to pay to ship a unit back after 2 days and rather go with a refund if there issue with build on these amps.
This leads to my other question any suggestion for other amps in the price range of $70 to $125 if I decide to go that route.
