I just got my K712s and so far I have been very impressed with their SQ, especially the soundstage and imaging, coming out of my Centrance DACport.
I'm considering an amp that would make them sound even less analytical then they currently are. Don't get me wrong, I don't consider them to be "analytical" per se, I just prefer an even warmer, more laid back type of sound for everyday music listening.
So what are my amp choices if I'm looking for a slightly more colored sound? I'd like to keep it at or under $200, but let me know if there are slightly more expensive options that are more worth it.
Tube Amps that I've been researching:
- Little Dot I+ 6JI X2 based on this review: http://www.head-fi.org/products/akg-k712-pro/reviews/17540
- Schiit Vali 2 (although I read there are popping sounds when next to a phone or router??)
I also have the the JH16s - so it would be a bonus if the amp synergizes well with them as well.
