The Ocean has the slightest extra bit of weight in the bass and might be just a little more forward sounding in the mids. The two amps sound remarkably similar, both very clear with some nice analog warmth to them. ![]() It's not a huge difference and only noticeable if you're really looking for the changes. Overall things sound a little warmer without losing any of the separation or detail present in the recording. It takes away some of the studio's clinical presentation and gives you a closer to live sound. Crash cymbals seem to extend a bit further and take on a real live performance feeling. The most noticeable areas are the bass and treble which both seem to gain more change than the mids. Everything stays remarkably clear and gains some vibrancy. Low notes dig deeper, mids become a but more full and highs get some extra sparkle. So how does it sound apart from big? The NS-01E gives sound a sense of energy, sort of like you're sitting on top of a live volcano and just waiting for it to erupt.

Using the line out from the FiiO X1 II 9-10 o'clock was adequate with the Ultrasone Performance 860. How much exactly do you ask? Enough to make your head explode like a melon under a sledgehammer if you're not careful. This thing is loud! I've no idea how they managed to pack so much power into this minuscule unit but its got some serious grunt. The Nobsound NS-01E really surprised me the first time I hooked it up to my system. Inside is the amplifier which is protected by a soft white foam, a power supply and a user manual. The NS-01E comes in a tidy little white box with gold print on the top. Volume: (W)50×(L)50×(H)30 mm - 65mm height when add tube and feet. ![]() I'd like to thank Nobsound/Doukaudio and Vivian for the opportunity to test this product.
