Looks nice.
Who wants to bite the bullet?

Looks nice, but my biggest problem with it is non replaceable batteries. One charge only gets you 20 hours. With such a short battery life, I feel replacable batteries is a must. Especially comparing it to it's predecessor which had >200 hours per charge. With a battery life like the LDM+, I can understand using Li-Ion batteries that can't be replaced on the go.

Honestly, I think 20hr battery life is fine. Where would you go that you will use your amp for 20hrs without being able to charge it. Also, how many DAPs can even run for 20hrs on one charge?

It looks pretty darn good and allows for op-amp rolling. LM4562 is nice. It looks like it's rated for a 600ohm load now. This makes me wish I didn't jump on the Go-Vibe V6 blow-out. This seems like it would really kick some ass in low $100 price range with the TPA6120. It's not clear to me what the design is like though.

If you really need that much charge, just build an external charger out of batteries.

I may bite the bullet. I'm still deciding. Only problem is that I am NOT an audiophile. So it'll be all from a layman's perspective. But I'd be willing to send it to Skylab, or another member for a review. I'm still deciding on a headphone amp. I don't have anything spectacular to drive though. Just the Panasonic RP-HTX7, ATH-EC7's, and an old set of Leslie W2's. Yes, Leslie like the speaker maker associated with Hammond. And a bunch of random earphones, all sub $100. I'm not too keen on $25 for shipping, but, in for a penny, in for a pound, I guess.
