OK anyone have this amp? Driving a pair of Sein 650s

m903 reference headphone amplifier

I am looking for a great sounding amp in the under 2k range, prefer remote and needs to have USB inputs hi rez too.

Kinda like some of the tube gear, but looking for input from the folks please.

thanks!

I'm a major headphone geek, and I can tell you this is both an outstanding amp, but also a respectable DAC. You should be very happy with it.

Thanks how does it compare the Ray Samuels tube gear like the
Emmeline II "The Raptor" Headphone Amp

6moons audio reviews: Ray Samuels Audio Raptor

I realize no usb and no remote, but just curious?

I think the Raptor sounds better, especially since you can change and experiment with different tubes. I didn't mention it because you specified the desire for a remote.

I would look at RSA The Raptor, RSA Apache, and Headamp GS-X.

Your collection has me beat. Very very nice.

So do think overall I will be pretty happy with the 903?

How do you think that model vs the raptor compare? I kinda want to stay closer to 1600 or less and i can get a 903 for about that price.

The raptor is less but curious on tone sound etc of the 2.

The other models are too much $$$$ for what I wish to invest for the 650 cans.

PS I have up graded cables on my 650s too.thanks

I have not heard the 903, but I had a 902 (the 903 is supposed to be a big improvement) for about one year, and was impressed with it. I do like the musicality and warmth of the Raptor better, but the versatility of the 903 is much better, and I am quite certain you will be happy with it.
