Outstanding for the price, performance and size

This is one of my more satisfiying blind purchasing ever. If you are looking for the absolute pinnacle of Japanese engineering in a compact size headphone amplifier, the Mass-Kobo 433 is it. This amp provides a level of transparency and black background that is rare even in high-end desktop setups. It offers a completely uncolored, neutral signature that reveals every micro-detail in your recordings without ever sounding clinical or harsh. Despite its compact size, it drives demanding full-sized headphones with incredible grip and dynamic headroom. It feels like a precision instrument. Whether using IEMs or power-hungry planars, the noise floor is non-existent. This is a "buy it once, keep it forever" piece of gear, unless this masterpiece awakes your cravings for taste the next level (485)
