The Phonitor X is a phenomenal piece of German engineering. It is one of the best (if not the best) solid state amp I've heard thus far. Output is clean, fast and powerful. Doesn't really add anything to the source material but it also doesn't take away anything. Crossfeed matrix is some magic pixie dust which does wonders for headphone users looking to emulate the way they hear from speakers. Great product from a great manufacturer. Highly recommended.
