Following the success of the original Sassy, phatlab have just released their Sassy2 and Sassy GT (Gold Tuned) Single-Ended Triode/Solid-State Hybrid Portable Headphone Amplifiers.
The Sassy2 and Sassy GT are available from Jaben stores worldwide. I met Eric from phatlab at Canjam Singapore 2017. We chatted over some coffee and I was fortunate enough to walk away with a Sassy2 for testing. Keep an eye out here for my thoughts on it and if anyone picks one up or gets a chance to audition one, please join the discussion and tell us your impressions!
Price:
Sassy2 $699
Sassy GT $799

Ever since the debut of Sassy in 2015, everyone is astonished by its energetic performance accompanied by rich and warm sound of valves. Sassy can handle most planar magnetic and high impedance headphones by its uniquely designed tensionless hybrid topology. But there are requests from enthusiasts who hope to enjoy same sound quality and compactness with their favorite earphones. Introducing the Sassy ll, born on the expectation of many enthusiasts and beyond.
