Congratulations on your new Desktop Portable Amp. The amp you hold in
your hands is the latest in a thirteen year long quest to build the world’s fin-
est portable headphone amp. It’s equally comfortable in your big rig at home
or on the tray table in front of you at 30,000 feet; it will take a signal from a
$10,000 cd player or iPod, drive your high quality headphones with author-
ity, and coat the inside of your head with the vivid colors of your favorite mu-
sic. Add the DAC option and you’ll be able to feed you amp from any source
with either Toslink (optical) or coax digital output, or from a computer’s USB
connection. There aren’t many portables around these days that have digital
outs, but most of today’s portable DVD players play CDs and have digital
outs that operate under battery power. You’ll be amazed at the quality of
play by all the great musicians that show up in your head. And if you haven’t
tried playing movies with WinDVD with Dolby Headphone plug-in on your
laptop through a good digital amp, and boy, are you in for a real treat. Oh,
and don’t forget to check out the Desktop Portable DVD Bag on our web site.
It will conveniently carry the amp, battery pack, and portable DVD or other
player of choice.
