Otherwise a good amp. Definite overkill for IEMs, but good if you're driving demanding headphones. Had no problems running T60p Argons and HE-6
If you want a desktop setup, I would skip this and invest in one of the offerings from Topping, SMSL etc

Power max is 4w power continuous is 1.5w straight from headamp dot com. Don't exactly know how they get their values but in no way this can output a constant 4w of power in 16ohm out of a usb c charger. I would trust the 1.5w continuous power rating . There are $1k desktop units with an internal psu that output less like a constant 2w for example.
edit: "1.56 W of continuous power @64 Ω (bursts of 4.1 W possible) in Turbo mode". I smell some marketing BS on their 4W power claim.

At the end, its a nice, well made amp. I was really impressed with it's build quality and sound when I had it. The buttons, the texture of the anodized body, the hex screws all screamed "expensive".
But at the end, you are right, it's getting a bit long in the tooth compared to modern offerings. But, the ifi micro has a charm and elegance that not that many portable amps cant touch. If you want a solid amp that can drive most headphones you throw at it and you value craftsmanship equally , you'll love this amp. I just don't listen to big headphones on the go, so I sold mine, but I kind of miss it now lol
