Hmm -- the Piccolo is not an amp, it's only a DAC, but you're right, it still deserves to be here.

That reminds me: the list should also have the HeadRoom Coda Amp and the Overture Portable DAC at $299 each, although they're extremely limited editions and unlikely to be available for very long.

For that matter, if you're listing the Headsave amps, then you might also want to add the Xin Technologies SuperDual ($160), which is also no longer available new. (No website, since www.xintechs.com now points to fixup.net, which never had any info on the SuperDual.)

You should add amps that you can buy from diyers on the board.

Edit: Oh, and you can get the Pimeta cheaper than $150, you can get one for ~130 from JMT.


Added the flute and piccolo.

According to JMT's website, the starting price of the Pimeta is $150.

actually you already have the two big ones on the board that are portable - the Mint and the Pimeta. JMT is a source. Hmm, for Cmoys you have that covered under that list too. I think you're set.

hmm the A1 Simpl headphone amp has been getting some press, that should go there too.

I haven't heard this one, but as LTUCCI noted on page 1, PocketAmp2-version2 from electric-avenues should be on the list.

Has anyone heard this amp? (...seems like quite a bargain... but the sound???)

The Cmoy usually varies from $20 - 70.
The z-moy starts at $45
I'm not to sure abouy the mint, but I guess from $80 - 110
I have no idea what a meta42 is priced.
The Pimeta can vary from $110 - 160 (or possibly even more)

Oh and you could include the A47, but you don't see a lot of these being sold, so I have no idea what the price would be.

I just discovered that AOS PACE is "portable" it runs on batteries.

Oh, and you should include the PPA, it can run on batteries too, I forgot about that. I'm not too sure on pricing. I'm guessing $350 ~ 380 +
