The Billie Amp runs between $1650 and $1750 U.S. depending on the finish you select, gold being the more expensive option. Also available are a variety of different knob options for around $50.00 for most. If you are into the look, the Gold looks superb with the walnut knobs, the contrast is striking. Speaking of striking, the whole amp has a premium sleek appearance with a simple face. Another thing to note about the controls is, the Billie has a remote as well to control the volume from where you are sitting. The Volume knob is a motorized analog style. You can also use the remote to change songs and some other functions as well. It fits in just about anywhere in both appearance and size. Don’t let the small size fool you, it packs 120 watts into the chassis as well as an excellent DAC, and Tube Preamp.
