My wife would say, "You're either crazy or you're not, I don't care where the line is drawn."

i seriously LOL'd when i saw the picture.
then i read skylabs comment,
"wow, just wow."
and i pretty much lost it.
you guys think the HP jack on a SX 950 will drive the HE5-LE?
Not really well, in my speculation/experience. I have a Marantz 2275 and with the HE-5 in play, the vol pot has to go way beyond where it goes with other cans. So I would surmise a SX-950 might have a bit of a struggle showing what the headphone can really do. However, with the SX-1250, the HE-5 gets right up there to a righteous toe-tapping, finger-snapping zone.
Just me guessing it would be a bit iffy...
So, got my McIntosh MA6100 rolling with my Little Dot DAC-1 & D7000s (and D2000s, Q701s, Rastas, etc.). Talk about velvet smooth with all the soundstage and detail, this is almost high end tube territory here. This monster is an amazing HF amp, and does a killer job driving my Swan Diva 2.1s that I use as PC speakers. I can't believe I waited this long to get it out of mothballs.
Sexy, sexy...
Could you actually replace a dedicated headphone amp with an integrated amplifier like this and get better sound? I vowed a while back to stop messing around with vintage gear, but the vintage sound is calling me back, that, and I need a phono pre-amp. I have no intention of using speakers right now, but I do hope to add in a cassette player and finish off my turntable rig soon, would be great if I could use an old amp as an all in one and sell off the Burson. Technicalities aside, listening through the broken sherwood I have has just made the Burson take on a 'fake' sound to me.
