Hooked up to a Verza it definitely seemed like it "wakes up".
well, I am now following this thread as I will be ordering my HD650's here shortly, but I do have a question and have only gotten through 1/3 of the thread so far so please be nice.
I am thinking about getting one of these amps;
tubemaster
Little Dot mkiv
Schiit Vali
now this is based off what I have researched so far...
Should I get the matching Mav Audio DAC for the tubemaster, the Modi for the Vali or ? for the Little Dot mkiv
Your help, direction and feedback is appreciated in advance!!!
Wait an extra paycheck or two and get the Bottlehead Crack Amp. I don't think there's a single amp out there that has been praised as having as good of synergy with the HD650's as the crack amp. The ONLY downside: you have to solder it together. Worst case scenario, you pay a head-fi member to assemble it for you for a small fee.
I've been using bifrost uber and lyr, and they work great, but from what everyone says, the crack blows everything else out of the water when it comes to driving HD650's. Mine is in the mail! (stupid 4 week lead time)
Is there any consensus on which DACs go best with the Crack?
There is a bottlehead dac due out imminently I believe. There is some good buzz about it. Right now, the bifrost uber is outstanding for anything less than $1k. On the low end, the odac is a good dac and pairs well.
The bifrost with uber will scale cans that have the ability to do so. The 650 scales well.
