Maybe the modded version does who knows. I came across some op-amps here but not sure which is best for the m-stage. I'll probably order it after i've used the m-stage for a while and get accustomed to the sound.
I have the opa627 with class mod..i bought from tamaudio..and i can tell u...it improves the mstage in a good way

I still don't know which cheap amp to take with my HE-400 since I want to keep it under 200$...

Has anyone tried the he-400 with the Bravo Ocean?

Very tempting, but I think I'll buy a tube amp, tube rolling is really something I wanna try.

That's a great deal, but it's the older v1.3. I think the newest is v2.1, though not sure of the differences.

Thats indeed very cheap...i wonder where the scratches come from on the underside.. redface.gif as it has little plugs on the underside...but then again..150 is a steal! I wouldnt sell it for that money..but mine is probably newer...and NOT ONE SCRATCH .wink.gif i would advice..check it..and go for it...u wont find any cheaper modded one redface.gif

Speaking of M-stage, mine has just touched down in Germany from Hong kong :) Should not be long until it reaches Cyprus :) Joy.

 

At this rate i'll have an amp but no headphone to listen to since my he400 is still in the US according to the trackings.

About this..its said the older versions sound more natural the the newer v2 versions..some even prefer the older versions..soundwise. I think mine is also of the first series..but last batch..as i bought it in december last year.
So new version doesnt necessarily mean better quality..i actually wanted to update mine myself and buy a v2 but tamaudio told me personally it woulnt be a improvement..only the quattro would be..

Good choice for the 400's, but I wasn't willing to screw with cheap tube amps so I just went with the Lyr. I don't know of any tube amps under $200 other than little dot. 

It's not tube, but the asgard was a pretty good fit with it. All in all you just will need a power high-output amp.

Project Sunrise. However it's a diy kit.

Bravo Audio makes cheap tube amps too, like the Bravo Ocean but I'm not sure how well it will work with the he-400.

the own HifiMan EF2 pairs extremely well with the HE400.

Definately drives them fully and runs at $170!

They will build & test with tube for $245.00 !  Couple of people on here really like it with the HE-500, so it should also be a good fit with the HE-400.
