oops i am a little late coming to the party. sorry about the delay hellenback; had to deal with reformatting my laptop the past few days.
anyways, i am the said "visitor" who tried hellenback's headstage arrow and inline wolfson DAC. to me, both were awesome. the headstage will definitely be my next portable amp. i tested it with my sansa fuze out of a LOD to the arrow, and i used my westone UM2s which i am most familiar with. i had the bass boost setting on "II" and it definitely made a difference in the bass department. the bass had a nicer impact to it, with more body. i definitely had a hard time taking it off.
and as for the wolfson DAC, it definitely opened up the sound more than my alien DAC. everything was just more revealing, and clearer. imagine a pitcher with crystal clear water; thats how my music came through. i am most likely going to get the wolfson as my replacement DAC, when i have the money
