The much fabled Xin SuperMini IV with all the latest tweaks is finally in circulation. Here are some pics with size comparison. Arrived yesterday and am still breaking it in, enjoy.

Just a few quick thoughts. I would consider myself an audiophile in training, so please excuse some unconvention analogies. Also this is my first amp so I cant realy compare it to others. It was like a veil was lifted from all my headphones, a new level of clarity and crispness across the board. Both the k81dj and the sr80 sound better, but the hd555 really came to life. Maybe the laid back nature of the Senn and the aggresive nature of the ad8397 are a perfect match. I have not even begun to mess with the internal switches, but will soon. The main thing I notice across the board is the ability to pick out details at lower volume levels. The bass also seems punchier and tight.

Yes and thats just the top of the slippery slope. Come back in a year and tell us how good your redwine modded Ipod sounds through your supermini / hornet / larocco etc into your ER4's / E500's / K701's.


Then tell us whether your wallet forgives you for the $2,000 you just spent getting there.

Welcome by the way. Enjoy, it's a great and very useful site.

Oh Nick, you have just described my sojourn here on Head-Fi to a tee (tea?), and I really wonder when it's all going to really end!!!
