A potential acquisition of the LCD-2/3 will also play well as it's 50 ohms.  

 
As far as I know they are rather power hungry, their simple impedance is a bit misleading. Did anyone test that combination?

The thing that I do not understand is that people are testing this AMP/DAC with Cans "this AMP/DAC is not powerful enough to drive most cans out there", can you hear music out of them, sure you can, but not like a desktop AMP/DAC "which most cans are designed for", this AMP/DAC was designed for PORTABLE use "IEM'S", and I don't see many people on the go with CANS on their heads "and the ones I do see look ridiculous, well to me that is". All the reviews I am seeing here is mostly with cans, only one review that I have seen with IEM'S is from Steve Guttenberg, http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-57587030-47/v-modas-outrageously-sweet-portable-dac-and-headphone-amp/

Your arbitrary use of quotes here forced me to read this like 6 times to make sure I was understanding you!

So the max file resolution the Verza can output is 16/44? Is that the same as the maximum on the IPhone 5 via a digital connection? Can the Galaxy S3/S4 output a higher resolution than that?

I was quite interested in this amp but I gotta admit, if that's the maximum output, then it's lost some of its appeal and supposed versatility in my eyes

The 16/44 output has made me look elsewhere too, as 75% of my music is 24bit...there's always one thing that's off for me in portable.
I'd have bought the AK100 had it not been for the output impedance(and correcting it with a mod at extra cost is not ideal).
However it seems like the Vamp Verza is a great device with many good features for the money.

You might want to try SounDroid Typhoon from VentureCraft. An upcoming DAC/Amp from the company that make Verza for Vmoda. It's can handle up to 32bit/192kHz and also 64DSD. Price in japan is about 500 USD.

It's not the Verza itself though that only does 16/44, is it? That's the limitation of the iPhone and of Andriod, isn't it? Even in USB dac mode on Andriod the kernel limits it to 16/44, doesn't it? I thought that was the big point behind rooting and implementing VooDoo Sound on the Anriods with Wolfson DACs, to get 24/192 output support, wasn't it?
 
If it is the Verza that's limited to 16/44 on both OSs then that's another strike against it, besides the $700 amp+metallo insaneo price tag! Man that slim, matching form factor is nice though...

Yes, it's the limitation of the OS. The DAC itself can handle more than that.

Checking it out now!

The Soundroid has a larger capacity battery BUT, on the other hand, firmware updates need to go back to Japan instead of the US (I'm assuming V-Moda can do firmware upgrades on the Verza) and there is no Metallo case integration.  

 

[Grant625]

The Metallo case and Verza docking system is a great asset, I'm not a fan of rubber bands.
If there was a way past the 16/44(using Galaxy phone) limit I'd be all over the Verza like a fat kid on cake.

 

[Kojaku]

The limitation of processing 24/96 is definitely not applicable to the Galaxy S3 (at least in my experience) ...I have 24/96 files all over my device and through Poweramp they play absolutely fine...When I had an Apex Glacier, the 24/96 files played out perfectly, no downsampling...I'm looking to buy one of these as a grad gift for myself before I start work, but I really can't afford $600...so if anyone on here gets tired of theirs, please shoot me a PM.

On the iDevice side, 16/44 is the limit from iOS but, for PC side, it's the limit of the DAC chip itself. This is based on the information from Go-Dap X. They used PCM2902C which is 16/48 DAC chip.

Anything for us windows phone users??? The Lumia 928 is a beautiful new handset and along with its predecessors is gaining steam in the smart phone community. Seems there are currently like 4 cases for us on the market. Why not set the bar??
