I was wondering if anyone here owns or has extended listening experience with the LTA Z10e Headphone Amp. I’m considering a purchase to use with the STAX SR-X9000 headphones.

Anyway any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is a lot of money.
There is the Hifiman amp 550V/650V.

Thanks for your post FullRangeMan. I have a friend that owns HiFiMan headphones. He due to bring his hp system over to my place in a few weeks so we can listen to it with my preamp, etc. I’ll know more after I hear his. Thanks again for your suggestion.

I have no experience with the headphone amp but I am a fan of LTA ZOTL designs. I had the Z10 until I changed speakers and needed more power. I hated to see the Z10 go. It was very musical.

Now I have the LTA Aero DAC. It is a great DAC. It outperforms DACs costing a lot more. It is a keeper for me. No more DAC searching.

Thanks Don_S. Great to hear that it’s musical. That’s what it is all about. It may be a good fit with my DAC.

I am also wondering the same. I have x9000 and am looking to pair it with BHSE. Z10e is in the same price range.
