  • You are awesome, really enjoy watching your videos, very professional and entertaining. Which is your favourite portable amp & why? I was about to order e7 but now slightly overloaded with information.

  • @superawesomefilm My favorite amp is currently the Headphonia Headstage. It is of amazing quality, super slim and portable, and best of all, can handle ALL of my headphones with aplomb. I use my iStreamer DAC when paired to my Macbook. It's an unbeatable combo!

  • dude you have a nice tatse in music ...u need t start listing the songs u use.

    keep up the fantastic work!!!

  • @Cagliari1234 Thank you! I'll be sure to include the tracks on all future work. :)

  • thanks for a nice review. I want to use it to PC and ipod connection but need a selector switch. what other component is needed?, old integrated amp work with this as the selector switch?

  • @gychang00 Thank you! yes, the limitation is the single 3.5mm jack. I would do exactly as you mentioned, which would be to feed all of your sources into the receiver, and use an rca to 3.5mm jack from the line out on the receiver..most receivers have this.

    Thanks for watching!

  • @DeckhandDavy how exactly do you connect your iStreamer DAC to your Mac? i thought the iStreamer was only for iDevices

  • These amps can compare with traditional amps costing $5000+ !

  • @dyarod last song is 100 % by Chromeo

    First Song is Pastorale In C Minor by Jacques Loussier

  • Thanks, great video. Heard so lot about it, guess now I really will order them...

  • Have you ever compared this with the Lepai amp?

  • my speakers have a subwoofers and speakers negative and positive wires so how does that work? put both speakers and subwoofers wire together?
