Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The voicing and musicality is so right on. There's just something about the soundstage and realism that just makes you want to keep listening. When listening to square/ triangle/ sawtooth synths the improvement in attack is night and day.

The quality is rightly astounding. My only complaint is the awkward shape. The metal finish makes me feel secure in the future of the device.

It is ergonomically easy to turn. The turning of the volume knob is very smooth.

It's only competitors are the schiit magni 3 and jds labs atom. The jds o2 betters the schiits and comes pretty close to the liquid spark.

When using the liquid spark on the chain the music becomes intimate and delicious with tunes like silvio rodriguez. Liquid spark, when using the cans i had, and comparing all se, ties the jotunheim! The liquid spark is definitely the strongest link in...  Read More



Cons

Quality


Good functionality and really excellent sound with beyerdynamic 1990 pro headphones


So - tested the neoteck first, and it is a good little unit, good sound and works well.


Then - after a day or two, i plugged the liquid spark in.


2024 imac desktop has very low audio level out of headphone jack.

Price


I don't know about all that, but for $100, it has enough power to get t50 mods loud, and drive the hd 600 series pleasingly.


It's a great amp for it's price, and entirely worthy of being in the company of the atom and archel, in my opinion.


I got it for 87 usd in flash sale thanks to jushua valour.


The price of this amp fluctuates wildly, sometimes hitting as high as $150 and as low as $75.

Shipping


First unit i received from amazon was obvious return/used unit.

Packaging/appearance


I didn't test that box but this cavelli box is a beast in a small cage.

Competitiveness


I bought this unit as well as a neoteck unit as i wanted the liquid spark for the desk, and the neoteck as a portable unit.


A member of the recent panel of $100 pure headphone amps, alongside the jds labs atom, schiit magni 3, gishelli labs archel pro, et.


And the cavalli designed liquid spark prodced by monoprice.


I compared five headphone amps, the two small schiit amps, (heresy & magni3+).
