The crown jewel in the NuForce Icon range perfectly fits our definition of a realsization component. The crown-jewel application for the HDP is as headphone amplifier where it competes directly against acknowledged greats and drives anything you might throw at it. That it costs less than many of them but includes multiple inputs, a pre-out and a USB DAC goes those extra miles deep into Realsization turf as an aggressive recession buster and talented multi tasker. Really well done!. Read Full Review

NuForce’s Icon Mobile makes an affordable, versatile, and effective vehicle for those who would like to take their portable or desktop headphone listening experiences to the next level. Remember that to hear the unit at its best, you really must try it with your PC so that you can bring the NuForce’s surprisingly good USB DAC into play. Potential buyers will, I think, appreciate the fact that the Icon Mobile puts primary emphasis on strong sonic performance at a reasonable price—not on flashy, “boutique?styling. The Icon Mobile, though attractive enough in its simple and straightforward way, is really one of those products where “beauty is as beauty does.?/p>
