I enjoy my T1.2 with both a Cavalli Liquid Platinum [Tube Hybrid] and an Eddy Current ZDT Jr. [Transformer-Coupled output]. Neither one is an OTL, but I think they pair nicely nonetheless...

Thanks - what are some favourite OTL amps to look at pairing with, ideally without going crazy on cost?
For Beyer T1-G2, at 600 ohms, tube OTLs to consider include: Eufonika HM5, Feliks Audio Echo, Feliks Audio Elise, White Bird Amplification, Woo Audio WA2, Woo Audio WA3.

have anyone run Xduoo TA26 or TA66 with the beyer? im still considering entry lvl tube amps to add some change onto 3 of my high impedance cans.

What is current thinking about T1.2s - still well-regarded? I've been getting good results with a Focal Arche but tempted also for a change...
Absolutely well-regarded here. Almost my daily driver (even though not my favorite - I had to tweak it a little bit) since I have purchased it in 2020 right before the release of T1.3 would make it a discontinued product. Paired with a V281/V850 stack, a very enjoyable combo.

In love with them. Driven by a Teac UD 503 DAC/HA, a completely dual mono gear that delivers 12V in balanced at 600ohm. T1's combine well to the smoothness of the two AK4490 DA chips and the transparency of FETs output stages.
Could they improve with a OTL? Probably.They would change for sure, not necessarily improve. IMHO.

i can vouch for the T1 gen2s out of the V281/V850 stack. very nice indeed.
