I've owned it. It was actually my first headphone amp and I used it with HD595 but also tried it with HD650. I didn't like it at all. Audible humm in the sound all the time and the sound quality was nothing special. I didn't even notice a huge difference between E-10 and my soundcard back then. My E-10 was sold pretty soon and I bought Rega Ear after that.

looks like a nice brick to clobber someone with. even has a handle too.

I bought one. Actually it's a very nice sounding amp for the first half hour, then mine goes south with a whine in both channels, music drops about 90% in volume. Now I'm stuck with a $300.00 brick! The seller is going to send my another tube to try, but I doubt that's the problem.
