Well, I bought this amp exactly from that listing. IMO it sounds remarkable.

I really am amazed by the texture and cleanliness of the sound, and the power it gives. No dodgy sounds when turned at full volume with no sound coming through yet something still plugged in and on. So it's clean.

I was so exited that I wanted one with a headphone socket so I order a VERY SIMILAR fx audio fx1602s: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=f...McvlaJfhgKAD&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAg&biw=1680&bih=963

which sounded shite in direct AB comparison. I was very disappointed and surprised something so similar would sound so different.

I've heard people say these t amps need burning in which surprised me, but maybe it's true.

Truth is the Jie Chaung amp sounded bloody amazing out of the box, the fx audio one sounded nothing close when it comes to 'hifi' sound.

Jie Chaung was also slighty larger and felt better made. Both ran off these shipped DC bricks with no apparent background noise.

Both have terrible BG noise when running Bluetooth.
