Any opinion or experience with this pre-amp/headphone amp?
At $399 seems a good deal, 500kHz range and 6W amp, 3 HP outputs, 3 pre levels etc

The measurements are stellar, that's for sure. I have usually (not always) found that products that measure like that sound great, so the odds are in your favor. Still, I wouldn't actually buy unless you could return it if you didn't like it.

No reply from Aoshida by Email so far.
I will try order at Ebay where there is various offers available.

Thanks Admin for the move.  :thumb:
Aoshida made me a partial refund because they sent me the wrong power cable, a Euro schuko cable.
