I will try to answer your questions:
1. The change is only of a cosmetic nature
2. Constantly holding the device on the charger will not damage the device or change the sound signal, but it will weaken the battery
Can somebody clarify about accessories? There 2 videos of unboxing, but accessories have a different look. Does certain pack of accessories means certain version or a year of an Angel?
If I could complain about just one thing with the Angel, then it is the battery indicator. It was not really an issue, once I found out that the battery is really OK. But for a long time I thought that the battery wasn't really that good and that it could only last for 4-5 hours. It took a while before I found out that it easily lasts 8-9 hours. It is just that the battery LED starts blinking RED for a LOOOONG time before the battery is indeed depleted. Maybe around 50%. So, the battery easily covers a whole work-day but it took a while before I found out.
haha yes, i thought so too initially until i kept it running after it blinking red just to see how long it will go, surprisingly, for my use case, it is still up and running for about 2 hours+ until it went out. That's really impressive..
I will not let my Angel go. The TR-Amp does not get much use though, but I would miss its fun and engaging sound if I sell it. So for now I will keep both.

Is anyone facing an issue when the mobile device/ipad goes to sleep, the Angel no longer detects the device and only detects after it has been restarted?

Has the EarMen Angel on its 4,4 mm balanced output enough juice to drive a Hifiman HE-1000 Stealth (32 Ohm, 93 db) properly ? I'm thinking about to buy this combo for use without my PC...
