Great little amp August 25, 2008
Bernard Languillier (Tokyo Japan)
The thing sounds great in combination with the S1 speakers.
I have been using it through an USB connection stream .wav files and I couldn't be happier.
It is of course not comparable to larger systems, and is a tad bright, but still brillant associated to a Mac (or PC).
Functionwise, I would have loved it to have an optical in so as to be able to connect to the optical output of an airport express.
Cheers,
Bernard
