Ampsandsound Booster Box! I first heard this at Canjam Socal in 2022 and was blown away by improvement it made to the sources that Justin brought with him to demo. I wasn't sure it would make a huge difference in my system, but messaging with Justin he said, "Short answer is. Hell yes it will. Huge difference."
And he was right. Using a dap as a source makes this 100% essential. Adding it to my chain with the Merason Dac-1, a fantastic full size dac, added power, with improvement in clarity, separation, and impact.
Price includes shipping and paypal to CONUS. Feel free to PM any questions.

Fixed Gain Pre - Booster Box
The newest addition to our Black Box series of products is the fixed gain preamp otherwise know as a booster box.
Although many Digital Audio Players and DACs claim 2volts RMS out, measurement of their sustained output shows them considerably less. By utilizing the Booster Box we are able to get the analog output of a DAC/DAP to true line levels with significant performance improvements as a result.
Think of this as a full fledge preamp without the volume control. Gain is modest at 2.2 but in practical terms this means a 800mv output from a USB DAC is boosted to 2V and your tube headphone amp has the input with dynamic headphone.
At ampsandound we try to build bespoke products that are purest in execution. As a result, all our headphone amps have volume control, the booster box is the perfect companion allowing Your amp to reach its fullest potential.
Single ended, single gain stage tube amps love robust/hot front ends and digital sources rarely provide the voltage swing, this box is meant to solve this problem.
In short, add your DAP or your entry level DAC and you'll be blown away but what's possible when coupled to a true analog pre.
The circuit is simple, right out the NEC Op and manual, the magic comes from pairing a linear regulated PS and an over specified power transformer with great regulation. Rock solid power supply and modest gain equates to ultra-wide bandwidth and low noise floor.
