The SQ so excellent and powerful.

That is pushing the definition of 'transportable' never mind 'portable'! I imagine such a large case is good for heat displacement?


You are right
Wagnus is more as transportable amp than portable , because of the big size .
The weight Iyan self is lighter than my HDP R10
I don't know why they make Wagnus so big :D

I've never heard of the Wagnus. Hey Rudi could you throw up a link to a site or maybe online seller I'm curious to read more about it.

I was interested in this a while back but I was told it is not suitable for IEM users at all. Congrats Rudi I am sure it will be great for your headphones.

Any comparisons with the Lisa II, Pico Power or Portaphile 627 would be great.
 
Cheers,
