I recently discovered that I need a headphone amp for my main system. To make a long story short I am astounded that my big powerful Denon AVR struggles to drive even a pair of 40 ohm cans! (I attribute it to over-engineering on the headphone circuit resulting in struggle mode and poor sound quality with headphones). My vintage 38 wpc Marantz has no issues with that....go figure.
So I need to save up and get a headphone amp. I do not want a portable amp. I want something big enough to be at home in a component stereo system. I'm looking at preparing to spend up to $500, but less is more.
Any good recomendations to look at?
Thank you
