i not sure.. the picture were linked from walabies photobucket account.
perhaps new photo updates???
=P
from what i heard he said just now.. is roughly the photo can't represent the actual beauty of the amp.so incase of misleading. better took it off.

i cant comment on the SQ but the casing is certainly nice & bodes well for its potential. packaging is 9/10s of a product nowadays soo its a great start.

plus the pliceee certainly makes it competitive soo another ++. i hope i get a chance to try it out someday.

ps:if da powers-tat-be + da heavens are on my side, perhaps i can get a cheaper reviewer unit soo i can bring to local headmeets around the NA pac west. maybe some dudes from seattle mite be woweddddd

omg..it is out...tempting...

Why dun you get in the bulk quickly , the 1st 20 unit are cheaper. Then you can bring it to the meet

Definitely a tempting stuff and if I were into portable setup I'll definitely grab it lol..

any news about this baby????

Still no official spec? ><

patience my young padawan PcWork is working on one I think

Does boa > secret amp > modded ms1 pair up nicely? Interested to get one but don't feel like spending so much on audio stuffs now.

How come there are no reviews of this new Secret amp? Dun tell me its too Secret until no reviews?

Quite interested but need some detail reviews please. The more the merrier

Pricing wise, it's already almost the same as the iBasso D10. So high expectations there... plus D10 got lots of connectivity options + DAC

As much as possible I would like to support this Malaysian made amp too

Boss, D10 USD275 lol. Rm1k.

Why i know the price? Cuz i'm eying that too Still waiting for news from walabies.

Haha...ok la, maybe not exactly the same price but in the 800 - 1000 range. RM200 difference. Have you demo the Secret amp b4? Now the only thing lacking about this amp is information.

Nope, never auditioned it. Matter of fact, i never tried any amp. These will be my first amp

Well the reason is simple, it not out yet....

well earlier yuheng and pcwork had the prototype for reviews...you were too late i guess...LOL...
so you gotta wait for the product out 1st...which walabies said...HOPEFULLY out buy 2 weeks time...keep ya fingers crossed guyz...

Yuheng says my photo taking skills are bad, so I took it down.
Still waiting... spamming... Nearly 20 promotion units booked.
Those who bought are those who listened.

Cool if it's in two weeks time just right when my salary comes out...
Sigh easy come easy go....

what spec you want?
it is an headamp. with line in , line out, and a volume control.

by the way.. i am not the one making the amp eh. haha
i might supply the cable (highly possible).
i had a chat with the amp maker just now. and seems all is set and run. just keep our eye open..
hehe

by the way i dont know what spec u guys want. those who really wanna try it out can contact me. i still have the final prototype on my hand.
but this only open to person who are interested in knowing the sound quality. and i will definately not entertain person who wants me to reveal the internal parts of the amp for copying. i has stick it withsome things else. so if the intention is other than come and test the sound. pls don't waste the time.


just a rough information.
making the Printed PCB already cost very highly. casing, with specially designed case, specially ordered colour, printing which has wasted a lot of the casing.. debug of the pcb layout. order the fiber made pcb... all and all is just to ensure the final outcome is best that they can be done. i had witness all this process as well i had been involve as a "tester" to test the sound. each improvement they done had siginificantly improved the sound. for me. the pass 1 year i had tried numberous version of the secret amp.. with different caps.. different component, different shielding, different components. this is the effords that i admire which caused me to beg yuheng and walabies to sell me the first unit of this secret amp.. All the cost were absorb by yuheng and walabies. and as far as i knew, the total cost involving were close to RM 50K. and it also involve some R&D payment for the designer which i not sure of how much, and it's improper for me to ask. which at the first stage of decide what casing to use, i even have a quite serious arguement with yuheng and walabies about their skeptic in choosing the casing. for me , i said, it's the best we use default, or available alluminium casing to speed up the production, less trouble, less cost.. well yuheng and walabies did hold on and they insist on making it much more "special" and honestly. i personally never seen an amp with two round corner, two sharp corner.. and it's really great to be held in hand. and what i much more respect is the "insist" in making it great, although i had sometime complains to them that i had too waitted for so long... they are too picky.. simply too choosy in picking those parts and case.. and even printing.. the will of making it "great" seriously gain my respect.

so i seriously hope that these information can helps clear up buyer's mind that it can't be match up even with low grade parts, plastic casing, simple donut board or simple jalan pasar type printed PCB. it's a pain to try to come out somethings good. without even copy ANY, mark my word "ANY" schematic over internet, without even use their principals. and this afford is beying neglected and disrespect by simply asking for naked picture.. or even schematics... its the same feeling as some one goes up and ask Coca-Cola or KFC.. what is your recipies???
when hearing the amp, do imagine how much hard work had they placed into it, and it's not an easy task. it had last for 1.5 years, friends who knew us personally will know that we already have first prototype come out at 2007..

so i take the oppurtunity here to express my feeling of seeing what happen in forum lately including some "improper PMs" asking for some detail i shouldn't reveal.

Finally, for those who really keen to know the sound matches your personal headphone or taste or not. pls do come drop by to serdang. i have a final prototype on my hand. i welcome those who come for sound. and i will stick the amp within a black box for testing. and i can assure you its the same units as the final outcome. but since the final one has a better casing and grounding. the unit on sales shall be more quiet.

That's spec for basic Fiio amp..


The spec we interested are the following:
1. Dimension
2. Battery life
3. Charging option
4. Available line-in options
5. Special function (right now i only noticed Soundstage adjuster)

I think what most people want to know is what sort of technology this amp is built on? like 3 channel with virtual ground or four channel or discreet or something like that. Even if the board pics are posted here I have doubts that even 3% of the people are interested in copying the design - too much DIY time and effort to do that. The majority 97% which inlclude me would just prefer to have a listen and forget about the headache of the technical jargon behind the amp. Even Phil Larocco openly displayed his PPA, Lisa III and HeadCode schematics, same goes with Dr. Xin and many other amp makers, Steve Deckert and Graham Slee even revealed every nook and cranny of their amps for all to see -. Being open gives comfort to the prospective buyer knowing what they are going to spend their money on. I believe most would not want to buy a car if the car dealer refuses to show the engine bay. Personally I don't give a damm what technology the amp is built on, if someone can wire a frog and put it in a Milo tin and if it sounded better than any other amp in the market today, I will listen to it - simple as that.

This very own Malaysian made amp deserve a standing ovation for it to exist at all.
