Recently David from Cypherlabs shipped me his latest portable amp, the Cypherlabs Algorhythm Picollo (hereafter CLAP). I won't get into the official specs as one can easily pick up the information from here :-

http://www.cypherlabs.com/products/algorhythm-picollo/
 
As I've literally just got it delivered, I've naturally not done any tests to it but instead have taken some unboxing pics. A review of it will come after I've spent some listening time to it.
 
A Theorem 720 put next to it to get an idea of size of the box. This time Cypherlabs has chosen a different packaging from the CLAS & Duet.

 
A portable storage case

 

 
Very simple clean lines and finish

 

 
microUSB charging

 
Base could have been done better but, hey we're here to listen to it right?

 
A comparison with the rest of the Cypherlabs portable family

Any chance of getting some pictures from its internals?
 
Thank you.

No !! I just got this and it's a demo unit which I'll pass to @shigzeo after I'm done. I don't think it'll be too respectful to David for opening up and showing the internals to everyone for something given to me/us for a tour.

What an unfortunate acronym.

Finally!! Will be waiting on this to be reviewed! Hope you can try it paired with the dx90 and do a comparison vs dx90+duet.. Looking forward for your feedback Sean!

The carry case looks convenient. IEMs can probably fit in the space next to the amp?

Looking forward to hearing the results of your tests!

 

[shigzeo]

Yo, man, me too!

Too bad buddy, you get it all, the full package.

@Soup,sure can send to you too if whoever is next in line is prepared to send it to Korea.

I'll need to burn this thing in a little more. Straight out of the box, he bass is a little loose and the staging is a small. I'd like to put it through a burn in before I comment anything more about it's SQ. But so far using it with the Ditas and comparing it to the HM-901's balanced amp module, the CLAP packs a punch. The HM-901 balanced amp sounds more laid back, and so far the CLAP is more impactful and aggressive - listening to the Star Wars Imperial March.

Any updates on your review? I am eagerly waiting as I am also keen on getting the CLAP lol
