It could not swing the voltage into a set of lousy Koss 250 ohm cans to play percussion at a good level. Trying to do the same with a Zhaolu DAC's headphone amp literally smoked the Zhaolu's amp section.
It distorts like hell and assume transistors - not the sub-minature tubes, are cooked.
Don't know the shipping - have to find a box - would guess under $10 first class in the US
$25 sans shipping.
If restored to proper working condition, I would not recommend use with high Z cans.
Schiit would not provide a schematic so one is on their own.
The power supply will not fit a "small" Priority box. The DAC and PS
of course would fit the "medium" Priority box but that's around $15.80.

it would take really great eyesight plus perhaps a magnifier to work in this thing
dunno if even serviceable
it gave up the ghost attempting to drive some shittee Koss 250 ohm driver cans to a decent level on a drumkit video

If your blowing up more than one headphone amp it suggests a problem on the output like a part short or low impedance in the speakers.
it does - - the next time there's opportunity to grab those headphones, I'll get them and measure their DCR. I do listen at loud peaks with good recordings of percussion.
Be careful with your ears. I know several guys that damaged their ears because of playing at "decent levels". One of them used to wear his cans during sleep.... when his ears were damaged because of the nights of the decent levels he was the one most cautious at work and used his ear protection everywhere and at all times. The human paradox.
