I'm sure you'll like it.
On High gain (no bass boost), it adds a tube amp-like sound (to my ears anyways). Some others have mentioned this as well. I think at least 1 person measured a bit of distortion on high gain, which is what causes this effect. YMMV.
I am curious about what this might do with the HE4XX's.
Bass boost is pretty significant IMO, and is over pretty much the entire bass range. I rarely use bass boost.
I am anxious to try this on the Grado's.
You're probably gonna hate the volume wheel. It's quite slippery.
The volume knob seems fine to me.
Also, if you need a cable, the genuine FiiO cables are a ridiculous bargain. Very high quality (Oyaide plugs w/Furukawa OFC SPC cable).
Cool on the affordable cables. I have a lot of respect for Fiio and their products. My DAP search came down to the Fiio X7 II and the Sony ZX300. I chose the Sony because of familiarity, but really liked the X7.
