I could suggest order a tube amp with the right impedance matching:https://simplepleasuretubeamps.wordpress.com/
I own the IFI Itube Ican. It has 2 tube modes and 1 SS mode. Plus a great switchable 3D circuit that is fun to use. You can also use headphones with this pre, very versatile and lots of great reviews on the net. SQ is excellent. I use the tube+ mode the most.
I have a Nuprime Dac 10 which has 2 analog inputs along with a great DAC, lots of digital inputs and 2 sets - balanced and RCA outputs. And of course volume control and a nice remote. I think it is a very good sounding and very versatile.
How about a Parasound Halo P5 preamp. They retail for $1095, but Audio Advisor has one on clearance for $964. I really like the John Curl designed Halo line of products, I have a full Parasound system (Including a lot that I bought from Audio Advisor) and I think they punch way above their weight.Enjoy, Philhttp://www.audioadvisor.com/products.asp?dept=334
Interesting, how is the sound on the 3D feature?
I like the feature. Bad imaging recordings sounds much bigger. 3d circuit can be switched in or out. Xbass can be switched in or out also. I like the Xbass feature when I play my system at very low levels.The 3d feature is a big plus watching movies. I don't need a surround system playing movies with the 3D feature. There are some owners out there using IFI's 3D feature in 200-300K systems.Every system is different and every ears are different, that is why buying a piece with 30-60 day money back guarantee is very nice. Head-fi has a lot of great reviews on the Ican's headphone features.
Thanks for inform Tom.I really was unaware this little box was so useful,seems perfect to enhance less great headphones.
