Just installed a new AD8620 OPAMP (browndog) in my Practical Devices XM4 Headphone amp ... and man what a difference!

Here's the AD8620 OPAMP:

The new AD8620 OPAMP seriously opened up the soundstage of the headphone amp and also significantly improved the bass performance.

GOOD GOING BRO!!! I want one... heheh but for my Treo

Now get one of those pouches from Soloz2 so you can easily carry the player + amp setup

Though maybe you also want one of these since it might limit the noise a bit?

That photo is sort of old.

I *am* using the Zen with a LOD .. but it's the supplied Creative version which is sort of lame cause it doesn't have locking pins and instead uses a very unstable dongle mount.

I can personally attest, however, to the quality difference between stock headphone out and "line out" when using an amp.

I'm going to get a custom LOD once I get enough money, and, ... more importantly, once I get sick of the supplied Creative dongle losing contact.

But for now ... I'm totally stoked on the new OPAMP.

Well, considering that the Bose QC3s are more expensive than my A900s, and the difference in sound quality, I'd say Bose, while decent, is a huge rip off.
