It has LOTs of power, like you said, but also LOTS of noise relative to good $100-$150 headphone amps and a high likelihood of channel imbalance. The recent Audioscience Review test
[audiosciencereview.com] shows distortion at .012%, Noise at 78dB below signal, and about .5dB L/R channel difference at 5W (likely higher at headphone volumes).
By comparison the $99 Schiit Heresy has .0007% distortion, Noise 103dB below signal, no channel imbalance...and PLENTY of power for 99.5% of all headphones. Plus, the Heresy has an external gain switch, so you do not have to open the chassis anytime you want to switch between high/low sensitivity headphones.

I use the A-100 as my desktop amp, driving a pair of PSB Alpha B speakers and feeding a 10" sub (using speaker level connections). Sounds excellent.
Keep in mind, the power switch is in the back. I've relocated it to the front for convenience.

Also looks like their new stereo amp will be $450! https://emotiva.com/collections/n...-amplifier
