I currently use a korg 100 dac which I liked so much I sold my MIMBY but I want a little more dynamics/volume from my amp which the korg lacks, my La Figaro 339 actually demonstrates a bit of dynamics airier and larger soundstage but there appears to be an issue with the low impedance and design of my amp that causes distortion especially in the low end... So I'm looking for something under $1000 the lower the price the better something that I might be able to use with any or most Orthodynamic Headphones in the future ! Any & All suggestions are welcome !!!!

Happy Thanksgiving !!

I've been looking at the v200 by violectric, wa7 Firefly, Marantz hd-dac1 any suggestions or recommendations would be great !!

Cayin iha-6 ?

 

[ostewart]

You just missed out on the Keces S3 on massdrop, has low output impedance and can drive the Hifiman HE-6

I dont recommend Single ended Violectrics... Balanced Violectric is so much better. I would not pay 700€ for V200 but i would pay 1400€ for v280 this how much better balanced on Violectric is.
I heard from review in inerfidelity that Cayin is quite good. But it wont work with rca connection if i remember well...
Only xlr.

Umm who said that ??

Your question about what?

Your question about what?

Rca doesn't work...

Rca doesn't work...

I didn't say it as a fact... Just heard it was mentioned on Inerfidelity review if i remember correctly... Some amps like Headamp Gsx 2 dont work with single ended inputs, because it doesn't have those.

Cayin iha6 does have rca that's why i asked i didnt want to purchase something that doesn't work right...

It's an Output Transformerless amplifier. A lot of voltage for the money but that topology is practically the worst for current performance (ie low impedance load output power), not to mention high output impedance. Power delivery peaks at 300ohm on this kind of amp, not 32ohm or 16ohm, so you're closer to clipping unless the low impedance headphone has very high efficiency.

In no particular order:

Violectric V200, V281
Meier Corda Classic FF
Schiit Lyr2

I came across a new amplifier today, https://dh1000.hidizs.net/ haven't tried amp before. what do you guys think of it?

I’m using the Chord Mojo. Sounds great to me. Micro details are startlingly. Easy on the throttle....the Mojo can push these into distortion....to be objective....playing @ a high volume which introduces distortion is likely too loud for prolonged/normal listening levels anyway. Still early...these are my day one impressions. Currently listening to The Revenant soundtrack via the Onkyo player app FLAC 44.1/PCM 176.4.
