Gear matching is always a thing in audio, it's the one thing that makes me consider a tube amp as the final thing I can add to my setup, but always deferred when time to buy comes,
Lately I've been sidetracked with some distraction that 2 channel system provides, I now consider for people who can afford to (the space and noise speaker brings), getting a good stereo system as the best way to add a very different experience to a crowded headphone collection.
Besides that tho, one gear I'm interested in:
Anyone looking at Audio Technica's HA5050? Seems like a gear that is clear in what it's aiming to do, output Z is the one thing everyone agrees changes the sound of your headphones and this one provides 4: 0.1, 33, 82 and 120 ohm respectively, and a pair for each too!
The HDV820 outZ is 40 ohm thus the AT sure have more play on how you want to change your gear to sound.
