100+ Head-Fier
Thanks, I've heard good things about that amp, but I think I'm really looking for a headphone amp, not a speaker amp. A powerful but compact headphone amp like the VIoletric V550 or IFI Pro iCAN etc. Something that is powerful enough to drive the HE-6SE and Abyss AB1266 which I plan to acquire sometime in the future.I ran the FirstWatt J2, and it was incredible with the HE-6. It’s far too big for your desk though.
I’ve not heard it, but I’ve seen recommendations for the Benchmark AHB2. Benchmark makes some awesome kit and the AHB2 gets many top marks. Plus it will fit neatly on your desk.
