Reviews

"EarMen up to now has designed and produced several excellent products, but for me the L-Amp is one of the highlights.

The L-Amp with the ESS DAC and JAN6418 Raytheon tubes is delivering pure enjoyment in a portable box. With the detail and energy of the DAC and the smoothness and silkiness of the tubes, the L-Amp quickly wins over your ears and heart.

All-in-all this is a superbly built, tube based DAC/AMP, with an excellent price setting and a high versatility. Even if the L-Amp is not perfect, it is very easy for me to give it our Recommended Buy Award, especially for its headphone use. The EarMen L-Amp is now featured on our list of Best DAC/AMP combos."
