As title says - is there anything in price range (or cheaper) than the Lyr that matches it for sheer power, but is all solid state. Don't want to mess around with any valves.

Matrix M Stage, Matrix Quattro(AMPs), iBasso PB2 and Yulong A100.

I do not think that any of the above amps can come close to the Schiit Lyr  in sheer output power, 6 wats RMS, for low impedance headphones at 32ohms.

You could probably build a 2 channel B22 on a shoestring budget for $500

Just get a Dynalo. 1W of power is overkill for 99% of headphones. 6W will drive a lot of speakers.

The Dynalo is a classic circuit from the noted Dr. Gilmore and thousands have enjoyed it.
