As the title says; does anyone have any experience with the Little Dot MK9? Looks like a versatile amp.
...I have to turn up the volume to about 80% to reach a comfortable level of loudness with most sound files.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm guessing your amp is still burning in. I think the hum your hearing is from the power transformer. I've got a DAC that does it as well. Have you used the pre-amp function yet?
Does the amp has any gain switches on the bottom as the others Little Dot amps? If it has, you can switch to a higher gain when using high impedance headphones.
Mhm - no, I can't see anything on the bottom of the amp that would look like a switch. But it came with a few small plastic thingies that look like hard-disk jumpers to me. I suppose they might be used for changing the gain settings? Any hints from other LD MK 9 owners?
The amp was delivered with a 2-page manual - in Chinese.
Yes - I understand. As I indicated, I'm not really experienced in all of this. At the moment, I only see the need for a phono pre-amp in my set-up - which I already have. Or am I missing anything obvious?
I'm getting more and more concerned about the hum that the LD emits. If I hear it during low passages in the music, it kind of defeats the purpose of having a high-quality low-noise headphone amp, doesn't it?
