I currently have an Aune S16 and Colorfly C4. Ordered the Sony TA-ZH1ES but tbh I cant notice much difference to the S16. Going to do some more blind testing later but I think its waaaaay overpriced and not worth keeping.

So I'm looking to some of these to either add as an amp to the S16 (keeping it as a 32bit dac) or replacing it alltogether:

Hugo 2

Woo Audio WA7

Violectric HPA V281

Beyerdynamic A2

Lake People HPA RS 02

Rupert Neve RNPH

Sennheiser 820 amp

As I'm living in Germany its not too easy getting some of these ( and no Shiit unfortuanetly ) so I had to exclude a lot of other good candidates.

below are the headphones I own and I also want to get some Focal and a HD820 at some point

Any help is appreciated! THANKS

Schiit is available in the EU: https://schiit.eu.com/

Also check out the Keces S3, there is a reseller in germany I think.

Thanks for your reply! Ive seen that and was happy at first.. but they basically sold out on everything And they dont know when they will get more.

Ive seen a ton of hype around the adi and hugo2 (or adi vs hugo2). Maybe anyone tried them both in comparison?

50% of the people I've asked recommend the adi and the other 50% the hugo.. so I guess it's a matter of taste
