That was not my point at all. Although the Onkyo is far from bad for headphone use too. I am specifically addressing cost of parts and features vs price charged. And the only ignorant ones here are those that think a headphone amp is actually worth $1700.00+. I'll leave it at that so that those with nothing of value to add besides personal attacks can feel free to make more personal attacks because I won't be replying to any more posts in this thread, except the one below. Hostile people are not my kind of people.

Quality of internal components will also play a role, as does the actual circuit layout - we know the sound changes with the slightest change in layout or components, so don't expect two similarly "busy looking" circuit designs to sound the same. |
