The A10 is a great piece of equipment. I paid $100 for it, but can be had for $65 – so I rated its value on that.

It has slight design flaws by the placement of the volume wheel, the EMI is quite strong and the “pop” on connect is noticeable. That said, the SQ is very nice – it won’t be for everybody, as it does bring a warm sound signature to your audio equipment, although I found this very nice, and truly “special”.

It measures approximately: 7x5x1cm

Pros
-Brings a warm sound signature, which I feel in love with (really depends on how you see it)
-Small and portable
-Looks aesthetically pleasing
-Doesn’t need to be switch ON or OFF, plug in and out – like the FiiO E3, useful if you are forgetful
-Bass boost setting
-Pouch is included in the package, and is a quite nice one too – big enough for your phone + A10!
-LOD for iPod users
-2 way splitter provided

Cons
-EMI is quite strong
-Brings a warm sound signature (really depends on how you see it)
-Quite a loud sound/pop when connecting the amp to the source, it really should be switched off before plugging it in, or else it will hurt your ears!
-Placement of the volume wheel – it really doesn’t have any resistance to it, thus could be accidentally cranked up in your pockets if you’re not careful

Here is my unboxing video of them:

Enjoy!
