I'm in Tokyo now. Tried the amp a while ago paired to some Audio-Technica HPs (l was so excited l forgot to look at the model. Not the M50s for sure, but a close-back model) and a new Fiio X3. (Edit: just checked on-line, l listened to the MSR7).

I really loved the amp (construction, looks...). I can't say much about the sound as I'm not familiar with the HPs l listened to. In any case, the sound was very clear, with a good amount of bass. I was very close to do a compulsive buy, but then reason talk me out of it (= my wife arrived just on time

In my case, I'd buy this amp to pair it with my X3 when I'm on holidays or away from home for any reason. I admit it: it would be a total whim...

I love its design...
 
Is there any review at all?
 
can it play music while charging??? this decides if this device is useful or not.

they all look like press reviews. I'd like to see some honest user reviews.
 
Does ATH PHA 100 sound better than Geek Out 1000, Oppo HA-2?

any update on this unit yet? it looks good but 400 USD price tag isn't so fair.

 

[kawaivpc1]

looks like this unit is completely forgotten lol

So much competition out there though. I'm sure it's a great product and performs like a PHA-2. For travel use it's probably great quality.

Yes, but it clearly failed. There isn't a single review about this unit yet...poor marketing.

Well a "portable" headphone amp that doesn't accept digital signals from portable android and iOS devices, yeah, instant fail.

It apparently is compatible as there are reviews of both

i had a chance to test this unit with macbook and beyerdynamic dt880 edition 32 ohms.
sound was warm and clean.i enjoyed very much in that short time .
its sound was opposite of chord mojo and mojo seemed to me lacked of bass.
my friend said to me that he could not drive it with windows pc and it works only in mac os.

sorry for bad writing.

The AT-PHA100 is working with Windows (Windows 10 in my case) and with Android (LG G3 Android 6.0).
 
I tried it with :
 
   - Audio-Technica ATH-M50x => love it
   - JVC HA-SZ2000 => pretty bad
   - AKG Q 701 => awesome
 
I can compare it with the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro, the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD and the xDuoo X3. But you know it it's a complete different price range here.
 
I still have to try it with my best headphone (from my point of view), the Philips Fidelio X1.
 
I will try to post a complete review with all each headphone later (just tried the AT-PHA100 like 10 min).
 
Conclusion for my very first point of view :
 
Got it for 300$, woth the price but not sure it worth 500$, have to try with better heaphones maybe to conclude that.
