Which headphone amp you own?

I really love my Lehamann Audio Black Cube Linear. Truly awseome amp. Very neutral, no seasonings. Garbage in garbage out sound. Maybe that's why Sennheiser used it at their HD800 press events.

I have this, which is good for verifying that there's very little difference between opamps:

Then there's this, which I built to try out the TPA6120A2:

Now I'm building this, which is a variant on the previous, but with a more sophisticated feedback arrangement optimised for minimal distortion, and which can be built to be powered from an onboard Tx or by batteries with an external Tx for charging. The relay and zener are mounted on the front panel...

I rarely use my phones these days but there is a Musical Fidelity XCANS V2 and a PPA in the basement. The TC Sounds Impact Twin drives the HD-580's surprisingly well.

Cool Schiit Milford. ^

Does it drive orthodynamic headphones well?

Really nice indeed. How does it compare to your Lehmann?

Burson loaner program isnt over, from what i see. A nice chance to give it a try.

Almarro 205A MKII customized with 3 inputs and 1/4" headphone input on front (am told I have 1 of 2 that have been made), Eddie Current HD25 modified by Craig Uthus to HD12 specifications and Eddie Current EC84 (one-off experimental model).

Later in time, I would likle to buy the Hi-Fi Man HE6 (?)
with their dedicated amplifier
and/or
Beyer Dynamic ST-990PRO with the Schiit tube amplifier.
Anyone have something to say/share on my futur choice ?

HE6 is considered as one of the best headphone in the world ... 990 is a few notches down ... even T1 may not be a match ... for HE6

I have not heard HE6 - but have owned HE5 ...

This is what I built a while ago and use. For the future I do have some ideas for a DHT differential/balanced headphone amp

Best,
Anand.

Anand - your headphone pre looks dangerously delicious ...
Do you care to provide your listening impressions ...

Thanks

I owned and sold the HE6. Its a great headphone but you need a great speaker amp to get the best out of them. I sold mine and repurchased the T1 which stacks up very nice against the HE6 and is very amp friendly. I prefer tube amps so for me it was an easy decision. T1 all the way also much better build quality.
