I have heard people say the Valhalla 2, makes for a good pairing. I use the lyr2, to drive my dt 880 600 ohm cans to good effect.
Yeah, from what I've read so far, I pretty much owe these headphones some tubes.
I'm probably not buying anything just yet, I'll probably buy used whenever I do buy. I just wanted to get familiar with some of the amps that people have had good experiences with.
The Valhala seems well priced, but this quote from Schiit's website makes me wonder whether its missing the point of a tube amp:
[COLOR=8F8F8F]"If you’re expecting syrupy, tubby, euphonically colored tube sound, you’re in for a shock. Valhalla 2 is exceptionally accurate, neutral, and resolving, without being strident or etched."[/COLOR]

I mean, I'm supposed to want the tube-ey-ness of a tube amp, right? I think I want something colored, something dark. idk. I read somewhere that any "accurate" amp is just gonna make the dt880 seem more bright.
How does the little dot compare to the valhala?
