Today The iPod Studio released the offical review of the Simpl A1: "I can only give my applause to Simpl for taking this rather bold step in introducing an amp that's not only built specifically for the iPod, but built extremely well."

iPod Studio goes on to say: "This reflects that the A1 is not just another cheap gadgets that's riding on the glitz and marketing muscle of the iPod, but a legitimate contender in an audiophile market as well as the consumer market."
