So I'm going to use the great amount of knowledge and experience of head-fi to help me pick out a new amp/dac primarily for my HF-1s, secondarily for my ER-4Ps. :)
I'm currently using a total bithead which I find a bit bright with the HF-1 and Ety ER-4S. My fubar and mintish amp are at work used with my HF2s which I will likely keep the way it is as I find they work great together.
I'm very interested in finding something with a tube headphone output circuit since I've never tried one before. It'd also be handy if the DAC section (or tube section if it does) had a line-level out to plug into my speaker amp. So basically a tube amp/dac with pre-amp. Probably a bit much to ask for... but who knows.
Price point <$300.
Anyone know of anything that fits the bill? Or know of something solid state in the price range that sounds great with the HF-1s?
Thanks!
