I have just this week had my NuForce Icon mobile delivered. It is early days yet but my initial thoughts in regards to the compatibility to the IE8 is very favorable.
What I like about it is that it allows the IE8's to really show what they are capable of in detail, rythm, pace and timing. Also my regard for the little sennheisers capabilties has hightend with the use of this amp.
It shows that the Senns are capable of even greater detail and resolution than I had thought possible whilst not for one minute giving anything up in the musicality stakes.
Symbols sound more metallic, vocals are a little more forward in the sound stage and talking of sound stage it is even more detailed and spacious without sounding odd.
Soprano's voices are sweeter and clearer and large scale orchestration even more palpable.
Bass has tightend up and is more detailed that before. This little amp really shows what wonders the IE8's really are.
I am very impressed so far with this Amp. The combination of it, my classic and the IE'8s really make me feel like looking no further for my mobile equipment.
