Dan can you educate me on the type of headphone amps, what is the benefit of a dual mono design? I would guess it is 2 independent circuits?
I have a pair of HD650 phones and am looking for a decent headphone amp that will not break the bank, and this X-can with the tubes looks like a hot ticket. I used to run from my C39 sound was fair at best, now with the mx150 i have no headphone amp.
A few weeks ago a post about ray samuels amps was mentioned, I checked them out and they seem pretty nice too esp the tube model.
I am not sure cost, performance etc. I know it is all subjective and sometimes emotionally driven. But in the around $1100 and under range would like to know what is most likely with Seinheiser ohones a good match per this class range.
NOTE: I prefer a very open and less forward sound if that helps. Crisp and wide sound stage and tight not boomy bass.
thanks
Dave
