Yes.

Comparing a DAP's output to the output of a nice DAC->earspeaker amp is like comparing an all-in-one stereo system from a department store to a high end setup with Krell Amplifiers. :)

20 bucks is self build. getting someone else to build u one is much more. and if pay that much u pay a lot for your headphones too:p

I actually bought one for $35 pre built.

I've got the instructions on how to build on as well... Gonna take apart the prebuilt one and put it back togeather the way i want for the first build. Then i'll try buildingfrom scratch myself :)

Where did you find that?

Prebuilt or instructions?

I'll say prebuilt, unless I can build one in less than an hour, and it's at least 40% cheaper.
