Default Graham Slee Voyager

How good is this?
Is it worth the GBP 170 ~ $330 price tag?
Looks pretty interesting though.
Can it drive RS-2s or Senn HD650s?
Please help me in deciding.

You should get Graham Slee "Green" solo instead, it will drive your RS-2 and HD650 at ease.

Yeah! But I am looking for a portable solution as well.

7th isn't bad in a very tight field - as the reviewer states "Any of the amps ranked 1 through 10 will provide the user with excellent service and make him/her very happy. Any of the amps ranked 1 through 5 are very close and IMO it is more a matter of what you like than any one being better than the other."

You should also consider other reviewers' comments. For instance oicdn is very impressed with the Voyager - http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f5/big...pdated-237038/, Voyager....WOW!!!.

Of course, it really has to be the overall synergy with all your equipment and your ears that determines whether it's right for you.

To add other opinion: The Voyager has a better synergy with bass-shy phones as my ER4S or DT880. Therefore, it might not be the best combination with a HD650. Compared to Miguel’s review I would put the Voyager in front of the Mini³ (caring just about sound quality) as it sounds way better with my ER4S. The great tone and bass are the reason.

Asking people ends up in getting thousands of opinions because of different taste and equipment. As oicdn, I'm quite impressed by my Voyager.
