Emotiva A-100
Call me crazy but I’ve been doing some intense comparison listening between my HE-560 and HD-650 on the A-100 (both from speaker taps) and I’ve found the 650 actually beats the 560 on bass.

DC Area Meet - April 7th hosted by Gramophone Impressions
Damn I wish I could have made it. I was sick with a nasty cold since Thursday and didn't want to spread it to everyone. Was really looking forward to hearing the Yggy and some of the flagship cans. I'll be there next time!- peepr

Emotiva A-100
I've recently added this to the chain, mostly to get better volume control and leeway from the A-100. Don't know if it's improved the sound or not but it does sound amazing. Very pleased. Was about $30 from amazon...- peepr

Your dac must not put out much volume or voltage. I’m using this with a raspberry pi (volumio) and modi multibit and at full volume l can barely get to 8 on the dial. This is With HE-560.- peepr

I have the original A-100 without the headphone jack so I run speaker tap adapters and run my 560 right from the taps. I have a picture somewhere I can post later.- peepr
