Based in Taiwan, Firestone Audio is quite a unique manufacturer.  Their general goal is to pack power and quality into the tiniest possible products they can.  By taking a look at Cute, a line of unique headphone amps manufactured by Firestone Audio, you’ll understand what this manufacturer has in mind.

While most audio products, like headphone amps, are big, bulky, and unsightly, it’s refreshing to see the quality that audio enthusiasts appreciate so much packed into a smaller, more convenient design.  Firestone Audio’s small products ensure portability, more space to play around with, and generally a better aesthetic appreciation for your audio gear.
