My sister's just flown to Hong Kong, and I immediately wondered if there might be any headphone amp manufacturers with distributors there?

Can anyone provide addresses or names? I'd love a Little-Dot or something!
She's not going to carry anything large for me, so it's probably going to have to be small.

I just came back from Hong Kong and was actually a bit disappointed. Most manufacturers don't have a shop because they're export oriented.They certainly don't sell their gear at the usual hardware or even audiophile places. I buy a lot of stuff from China and HK but always via internet. On the other hand, HK is a great place so don't spend too much time hunting amps!

I believe there are quite a few shops in Shum Shui Po that sell the sort of amps you're looking for. I am embarassed to admit that I have no idea where they are exactly even though I've lived in Hong Kong for most of my life.

You might also want to give these guys a visit:

Kingsound Audio stocks iBasso and is otherwise not a bad headphone store. I bought my UE Triple-Fis there. They carry some rare accessories - partcularly lots of IEM tips.

I think I might get a Little Dot!

Edit: OMG... I see a Darkvoice 336i! I've read so much about it... is it worth getting?
