Sorry for a little bit OT. How does the P-51 compared to a home (full size) amp like the Shanling or Little Dot (MK2 or 2?)?

Another vote for the RSA Mustang P-51

I have compared the P-51 with the Little Dot MKV in the past and the P-51 was better with my Edition 9.

I have the SE530s and the HD600. The P-51 drives both of them very well. IMO you can't go wrong with this amp in the portable category with these phones. I am not really a fan of the SE530s sig. sound, nor the HD600 for that matter, but with the P-51 they are both enjoyable listens.

Aloha, has any one tried the Headgate Arrow?
I heard it is better than the Lyrix, but no one in the real world to confirm...

What improvements did the Mustang have on the SE530's?

Now, maybe the amp that was listed as being grainy was not burnt in. Right out of the box, it makes for a pretty rough listen. But at about 90 hours, it sounds incredibly sweet!

I really agree with this and also found that after about 100 hours with the P-51 things sounded very different from when I first started listening. No graininess at all for me.

Now you want portable? Try a Xin SuperMicro!! With my DT880s: a-bloody-mazing. Of course, you'd have to wait till your 90 to get a SuperMicro!

Go for the P-51. You'll be happy. And, as many have said, Ray provides great customer service.

More lively, better separation are the main things.
