Give it some time. Let the Tubes Warm Up. Let the unit settle.
I've been listening close to three hours now, huge changes from the first 10 minutes. Night and Day differences. Beautiful Sweet Sounds from Tubes.Let the Tubes Warm Up, this isn't a Solid State Amp. This is old school baby.Let the unit settle. Don't get discouraged! Yes, it will sound like crap! You'll heard distortion, buzzing and the left channel may buzz! This is only for a short period of time. Third hour in and it's all gone.I'm incredibly happy with my purchase and the sound that I'm hearing from the DarkVoice 336seUpdate: Sep 01, 2020I absolutely love this headphone amp. Find the right Vacuum Tube Combination and you'll enjoy every note.Almost Two Years of daily use and not one issue to report.

Buy it lol
OMG!!! What did I just hear...was my immediate reaction. I have quite a few pairs of headphones but through my sennheiser hd650's on this thing put on a senatra song and proceeded to have my mind blown...BLOWN I tell you, I just pulled this out of the box about an hour ago and felt absolutely compelled to let you guys and anybody else that will listen know this requires no burn in or tube rolling (changing tubes) to sound amazing I really didn't even let the tubes warm up like people say to it was only a couple of minutes before I got everything else set up and it sounds amazing. As for what does it does to the sound, I'll try to explain it a bit but I feel like everybody wondering about this just has to try one so I feel like at least with my 650's it seems to bring the upper mids more forward but also adds some I guess color there to and it definitely widens the soundstage not crazy but definitely perfect amount for this set of cans and it does something with the bass to I don't know exactly what I haven't gone straight back and forth from any of my solid states then back to the tube but I feel like there is no need to because there is a very clear difference to me in the sound I'll update once I have more hours on this under my belt I'm sure it's not perfect for everything but so far I'm in love. Oh yeah and absolutely dead quiet when no music is playing and no background noise no matter the volume level if you experience different I would exchange it for another one but anybody seriously considering one of these I would just bite the bullet these are going away and prices gonna go up for sure as soon as there harder to find I feel like I stole this amp at 319.99 look around there is nothing in this class at this price don't even mention the little dot not in a comparison to the darkvoice if I spent a thousand dollars on this I would have felt like it gave me my money's worth I've spent that on a single pair of headphones before and was let down but not this time.

Absolutely stunning sound and quality for the money!
Update 10/30/2019 ****************************After trying dozens of different tubes, both 6SN7s and 6AS7s, I can say this amp has wildly exceeded my expectations. I listen mostly to Rock, EDM (Electronic Dance Music), Punk, Metal, and the tubes I finally settled on are the Tung-Sol 7236 for the Power Tube (6AS7) and the Philips JAN 6SN7WGTA. Lovely combination with deep controlled bass, yet sweet midrange and defined highs. Absolutely amazing combination.For other 6SN7 tubes, try these: KEN-RAD JAN-CKR-6SN7GT, Sylvania Chrome top 6SN7W,For other 6AS7 tubes, try these: Chatham Electronics CAHG 6AS7G, RCA JAN 6AS7G.You can basically tune this amp to your particular musical preferences and hearing tastes by rolling various tubes to see which ones sound best to you.I had read some very glowing reviews for this Darkvoice 336SE headphone amp and decided to go ahead and try it.And boy am I glad I did!What a fantastic amp. I have an Intel Skull Canyon PC with 512GB SSD M.2 drive, 16GB RAM as my main digital music server. Next is a Topping D50 DAC and then finally this Darkvoice amp, with a set of OPPO Digital PM 3 headphones..After about 48 hours of burn-in I began. With a selection of my favorite CDs, ripped in FLAC and stored on the SSD, as well as a decent few files downloaded in DSD and MQA format, I started listening.I was expecting a slightly slow, blooming sound, with rolled off treble, but even with these stock tubes it sounds great. All I can comment on is the combination I am running, so I can't separate the sound of the DAC from the sound of the amp and the sound of the headphones yet (at some point I will swap all components to see if I can figure out the sound signature of each part of the chain).With strings, brass and upper drum sounds, this is lovely. Lots of detail, warm without being too warm for my tastes. The treble is fantastic, not harsh, bright or too shimmery, just right. The mid and low bass is slightly too bloomy for me; it needs tightening up, but there is PLENTY of it. Kick drums are less snappy than I tend to hear on my solid state amps, but I have a bunch of new (NOS) tubes coming in to test and I am told by people who have had this amp for longer than I have that the tubes can make a massive difference.For less than $300, this is a ridiculous bargain, and it's a lovely, sweet amp. Well built, quiet and quite frankly way more than I had bargained for.O.K. Off to try some new tubes in it.

This headphone amplifer will ruin your day
This headphone amplifier will ruin your day as it did mine. If you like me have purchased some of Woo’s Voo Doo magic which is not cheap and then you compare it to the Dark Voice, it will ruin your day. The value here is the real deal. The quality and sound is every bit as good as WooVooDoo. While you spend a small fortune for Woo's, VooDoo sounds the DarkVoice sounds just amazing and is as good maybe better. The quality, the point to point wiring, the volume control, are all excellent. The music is extreemly clear and musical. You can will this amplifer to your kids. This is an amplifier that will last. I rolled a 1950 GE 6AS7 and wow the sound stage is so wide I hear music coming from behind me. It is easy to locate each instrument, each vocal, and the sound of foot pedals on the piano as the musician presses and releases them. If you own a Woo, do yourself a favour and don’t buy this. Damnit...I am still enjoying the amplifier. As of today is 8/14/18, I installed a Western Electric 421A and a Sylvania 7N7. Fantastic!

Works great to get the Mini out of the way
The only thing these holders are missing is an extension plug of some sort so you don’t lose the outlet the mini is plugged into. These get them and their cords out of the way though quite nicely.
