The OD300 is typical of the Single Ended Triode sound. Very euphonic but also detailed. Very similar to my DNA Starlett, but IME not quite as technically capable. Both are great sounding headphone amplifiers that offer that fatigue free factor that is so important for long term listening enjoyment. Like the Starlett (also a single ended triode) the OD300 is rare and very difficult to find on the used market. The one for sale here is a one off so to speak, custom built to the owner's specifications. My 0D300 was a standard build with two separate chassis (the amplifier in one and the power supply in the other). According to Dr. Al Freundorfer, (the head of Mapletree Audio Design), there were about 10 of my OD300's built since 2016; so they are extremely rare too. It took me over two years to find mine on the used market, and I managed to find it on the day it hit the market so I snagged it. I waited 18 months for my Starlett to be built (Covid related parts supply delays added eight additional months to the build time). So I've learned the importance of patience. 😊

Just curious, why are you wanting to get rid of it?

Yes they do. Al Freundorfer is now building two new headphone amplifiers: one that is both a combination of OTL and OD300.
The second offers OTL and OD300 headphone amplifiers in one chassis plus a low wattage power amplifier to run efficient speakers. They start at around $1200. Al does not have them listed on the front page of the MAD Website but you can call him at the phone number on the Website for more info on these products.

Hoping you can stop dropping the price. The amp is worth more than the price you are selling for...
