TOPPING NX1 Portable Headphone Amplifier Impressions Thread

Can the NX1 bring out the beautiful sound for the senns hd650?

Well it works OK with hd650 on the go, it has enough power when used on high gain, but can not compete with desktop amps, or in my case tubes. 
 
How is the soundstage?

Not very large, depending on your source. If you use it with FiiO's X1 which sounds very narrow, it widens it a bit. There is a certain width but notch much depth. But no comparison to desktop amps.

My nx1 is near perfect match with beyer dt770 80 ohm with acoustic and classical music. Tames the bass just the right amount, better portable than my 18v cmoy, but objective2 perhaps better by a slight margin.

  is it worth buying for someone who doesn't currently have an amp and is on a very tight budget? (for the HD 600)


As I remember the impedance of HD600 is 300ohm.  The NX1 will mot pair well with this fine headphone.  for portable use I would say the Fiio e12 series is or will be discontinued in favor of the A5.  the other unit I know will power your 600's is the Cayin C5 amp.  Hope this helps.
