It's smaller in the flesh than the pictures show actually.

Didn't expect such a small package to produce that much juice.

Can it beat the Mustang for power:size ratio?
If it can.... woah

It can drive headphones up to 600 ohms. =) Definitely more powerful although Mustang slightly smaller.

Very possible. Has a significantly larger soundstage than the iBasso DX100's built-in amp, and this is before burn-in some more.

For me, any portable amp that can exceed the DX100 built-in amp, is worth looking at.

Agreed, agreed. I'll come down to try soon ^_^

Sounds great, just hate the 2 9v option.

It's huge! Same height and width as mustang, but twice the size and easily 4x the weight -.-
I think sizeower ratio isn't great, simply cuz it's very big and very heavy.
Sounded like a pico slim with more bass kick, but similar mids and highs (auditioned it for a while today)
The lack of a charging circuit is quite a turn-off for a 500+ dollar amp though, especially since it's made to drive big headphones, so it will probably be parked at home.

It's a 2x9V, it can't really be small.

I carried a SPE iQube with my classic before I got the iBasso DX100 so it really depends on how determine one is....
