Schitt Valhalla vs Bottlehead Crack
« on: 16 Feb 2013, 02:26 pm »
I'm wanting a dedicated headphone amp and I keep gravitating towards these two. The prices seem right and I'm no stranger to doing my own build.
Any input or experience with these as well as suggestions for any others that are off of my radar would be helpful. I have a very nice set of Sennheiser HD545s at the moment.

Delta Wave - I have road tested the Schitt Valhalla with a Beyer DT 990 (600 Ohm) and Senn HD555.  Found this tube amp exceptional overall with spaciousness and a nice level of neutrality.  Quite engaging.  Price too is spot on.

While they both sound "good", I far prefer the Bottlehead.  You also have a bit
more room for tube rolling with the tubes in the Crack and I prefer the sound of
the 6080/5998 final tubes.  YMMV,
