I am sure you all have heard about the vamp Verza by now. It looks like a promising piece of hardware but with the price tag is it really worth it?
Any of you out there get your hands on it yet? What are your thoughts? Is it money well spent or money better spent elsewhere? I like the versatility of a portable amp. I realize $600 will buy you a much better amp you can park next to your computer but I'm willing to pay a little extra for that portability. That being said is it that much better than say a low end amp (Fiio E17)?
One other question: Is the iphone5 ever going to be compatible with it? My mind is boggled by the discussion on the lack of a LoD cable for the iphone 5 and that the adapter from lightning to 30 pin lacks a good DAC. If you use the mini jack to mini jack with an amp, it doesn't offer quite the same quality as a 30 pin does it? If you go onto Vmoda's site they mention that they are working on an iphone 5 cable due out this summer. If you have an iphone 5 is the vamp verza really even worth it? Vamp Verza is going to cost you $600, case $100 and the cable prob $30-$50. Potential $750 worth the improvement?
Oh and I am using Vmoda M-100 headphones.
