Speaker amps for headphones
Take a look at this https://robrobinette.com/HeadphoneResistorNetworkCalculator.htm I made one with values 6.8 and 1.2 ohm. supposed to be 16.8 db.

Speaker amps for headphones
I have used HE1000, GS1000, K872, T1 on Luxman LV107u, NAD302 & Shiit Ragnarok I. Attenuation acording to Robroninette 16.8 db. All sound fine, though Luxman imo is clearly the best of those amps. Even the 25W from Nad was enough to make HE1000 sing.- Mataugust

Compared to Beyer T1 and Senn...- Mataugust

DENAFRIPS 'ARES' R2R discrete ladder DAC - close up view
I did the switch about a year ago, and I hardly remember the difference. I did it because i, for a period, upsamled all my music to 192000 using SoX in Foobar. When I gave up that upsampling, the sound seemed more relaxed, somehow, so i thougt i should try a nos dac. Ares sound more relaxed...- Mataugust
