I'm hooked, fwiw. I tried one of tangent's easy to use kits and after I switched it ena/dis for a while, I liked having the option.
I also discovered I would NOT lock it on or off (perm hardwire). some material benefits from it and some does not, so it really does need to be ena/dis selectable. I even like having it be remotely selectable.
if you use a high-z version it can sit right between the source and the phones amp. but it does have insertion loss (dB wise) so you do need more gain in your amp than otherwise needed.
but I would not build another amp without a xfeed board or option. I like it (at least having the option to switch it in).
