Addicted to loudspeakers for quite sometime unfortunately now I need to turn back to cans (due to space & noise tolerance limitations, etc.)
Lukily I still keep two pairs of phones I like - HD600 and RS1 (semi vintage B). I sold all my head amps, now driving both with headphone output of my DAC (Fostex HP-A7). HD600 sounds alright but RS1 is tad too bright.
Seeking recommendations for a desktop amp to drive both cans to decent level, OK with both tubes and SS, budget up to 1K (USD or AUD).
I'm a bit overwhelmed by choices available in market these days, after some initial research, I think these 3 could possibly meet my needs:
Schiit Asgard2/ Violectric v1/200 / EarMax Silver
Appreciate your opinions!

The only issue i had with tubes is finding the most suited sound for my headphones (via tube rolling). I can recommend looking at the Burson soloist (solid state) i've seen more guys using it with grado headphones, including the RS1's.
