How is this combo? Especially the MiniWatt. I've yet to see someone own one.

not that bad... makes me want to get a better tube amp
 
this miniwatt is a temporary replacement for the RWA signature 30.2.... battery charger busted
 
I am pushing a bit hard on it... just enough power

Meet the family...Fiio E9/E17 ---> RCA pre amp out to a mighty/cute cMoy tube amp!! (Unsure if I described that correctly!)
 

Ath CKM 500's to complete my setup (for now!?)

 
Very proud of this setup and love the sound I hear!!

That's a Blackwidow Ultimate.

Doing some comparisons 

 
Current setup: Toshiba external drive --> Samsung 5 series (solid state)  --> Odac --> Fiio e17 --> Beyer COP
 
Double dac'ing? The sound does seem to change, noticeable brighter due to the odac and better separation with the odac.
 
Edit: Sorry about the crappy iphone quality pic, been funneling all my money into audiophile goods lately

Correct a Blackwidow Utimate...as for the E9/17 combo...I really do love it!!
 
It was my first steps in to this hobby and really is great value for money...I will look for my next dac soon but until then I'll still be enjoying the E9/17 combo!!
 
As for the little tube amp: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/12AU7-JRC4556-Valve-driven-cmoy-RA-1-headphone-amplifier-real-tube-warm-sound-/200807704603?pt=AU_Electronics_Audio_Amplifiers&hash=item2ec112681b
 
A fellow HeadFi'er makes over here in Australia, my first ever tube amp and I believe I'm converted!! Rolled in my first tube in, got a 'Genalex Gold lion' tube and WOW!!
 

 
 
Side note - It was unintentional that my setup colour was black/blue...just kinda happened!! But yeh...pretty neat!
