I like the looks of it. A headphone amp with a built in dac, I am surprised more manufactures havent built them that way.Any idea of the cost?

 

[Icenine2]

I has to be big bucks.  Look at the build alone on it.  Beautiful

 

[J.Pocalypse]

By aesthetics alone, it'd be rad with the T1.

 

[Br777]

wow, if it sounds half as good as it looks.  dig the wood panelling as well!  VERY PERTY!

The phono stage pictured with it is around $2500 so the amp might be reasonably priced,but it is entering a market saturated with amps.

 

[KingStyles]

It might be entering a saturated market, but it has something most amps dont, a built in dac. Even though some dacs do have headphone output. I wonder if they built the amp and inserted a dac or did they build a dac and insert an amp stage. I am just wondering what there priority was.

 

[Balmoral]

Wow.  I read the title and thought Rockford Fosgate was getting into headphone amps.

PJ,
 
Thanks for pointing out the amp is on the left.  I thought it was the other one.  I would think it would be reasonably priced.  It is very nice looking.

I'm going to have to eat Ramen noodles for a year to afford this.

 

[Skylab]

There is a very strong chance I will be buying one of those

 

[Armaegis]

Am I the only one that got a Cylon vibe from that thing?

 

[Icenine2]

Not the noodle talk again.  Always makes me hungry.
 
Man that is nice looking.  The finish is super nice.
