Did anybody notice this amp?
I REALLY want to know how it sounds.....

 

[penger]

I think it's brand new... might have to wait for others to post impressions. Or you can get one and let the rest of us know.

The LED on the top seems like a weird mistake....

Here is another picture on my website.
But not sure if these colors are available.

Rudistor XJ-03

I've only heard the sound signature would be similar to their home amps.
My friend has placed an order, I will post some impression if I get a chance to try.

Looks big but it's actually quite small when you see the dimensions on the website
XJ-03,Headphone Amplifier, Hiend, Highend

We need MORE PICTURES of this thing!
Too bad it doesn't use an externally charged battery though. And does it have the signature black background like all Rudistors have?

Looks like we'll have an interesting portable amp shootout this fall.

That LED is pure fail. But who knows if it out performs all the other portable amps on the market one might just live with the oddly placed LED

I'm waiting for the first sample to arrive to US...

Externally charged batteries are useful if you use one or two batteries, but not for battery packs. Also it has a circuitry inside to monitor the battery operation, and optimize their performance, based on the batteries selected...Those cases and combinations of small battery packs, of just one or two batteries, are more or less the power used in the portable sources. What is the big deal then in purchasing and carrying an amp with you, if you will have at the end a very similar performance??? Rudi wanted something more beefy and substantially different in sound, and those small packs battery selection do do not provide enough juice for his design to operate properly, and offer what you are looking for...

i wish i had the money to get this baby home
but I think wait for the impression come out is a good idea

 

[Deaf As An Adder]

but this one is much cheaper than the nkk-01se which is portable from rudistor
I missed that nkk-01se already
wished I had enough money to gather one before

but for portable amp, this xj-03 is sure an expensive one and I think it would sound fantastic

 

[ZephyrSapphire]

Somehow I get the feeling that it's the warm counterpart of the iQube

 

[Seamaster]

That looks nice, but at what price!! $499?

 

[olblueyez]

For 5 bills it needs a DAC.

 

[trickywombat]

For 5 bills it needs a DAC and a "Bose" label on it.

 

[BigEat]

Just ordered. Love the iQube. I guess we'll see.
