"SimAudio Moon Neo 430 HA - I had spent some time previously with this amplifier and coming into Big Sound, I was expecting this amp to compete well against anything. From a design standpoint, the 430 HA ticks off all the boxes for me. It is attractive, runs very cool despite its high power output, has a nice remote and full complement of headphone outputs and should you order the model with a built-in DAC, this could be one of the best all-in-one DAC/preamp/headphone amps available today. During the blind testing, Tyll asked me how I was able to single out this amp so easily and my response was that it had the most air and indeed this is one of its strengths. At 8 watts output at 50 ohms, this is one of a few amps that can drive the Abyss to full glory. In truth, it drove everything well. In comparison to the GS-X Mk2, however, for most of the headphones present with the exception of the Abyss and the HD800, it sounded soft and lacking in authority."

from here.
