Hi russdog,
I'm only going to be using the HP's from a "conventional" system, i.e., a CD player, receiver (for now), to HP so no DAC will be needed. I will not be using them off a computer-based set-up as I have a different rig for that.
Regarding modest, I'm thinking in the under $400 range. Hence, the interest in the garage 1217 amps. I know the A900x's certainly don't need the power this/these amps put out, but the features/adjustability sure is intriguing. Also, from doing much reading, the reviews say these amps are a little more laid back, even the solid state model. I'm not into the overly clinical sound so I thought this might be a good match with the A900x's.
The other amp I was looking at was the Meier Corda Jazz. However, it seems this has a very different sound sig from the garage amps. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Bill
