Looking for an fast and organic sounding amp with great pace (imo a function of very stable timing) and excellent transient response, esp. at low to moderate levels.
Budget up to 700 new or used. i am open to dac/amp suggestions up to 3k aswell (over 1k with preamp function to use with my speaker setup, even a dac/pre direct via balanced outputs?). I might have a chance to try the eximus-dp1 in two months - i will report. amp should have reasonable value. dont wanna spend 3x for maybe 5%. tube or SS.
At the moment i use M50 and HD600 with gilmore lite + standard PS. Really like the DT880 and will buy it standard or balanced - depending on your suggestions. Didnt like higher end stuff like hd800, t1, he6, lcd2 - super speed but odd and thin sounding to me.
