Always helpful. Unfortunately that thread has so much rant in it, you gotta skip right to the recommendation listings.
The rants are the least of that threads issues... :rolleyes:

Hello, I'm new to this thread. I honestly didn't have time to read over 300 pages, so could anyone tell me what are some of the amps many of you have found to be an ideal pairing with the D7000? I think the general consensus is that the D7000 is not that picky about amping due to its low impedance and high sensitivity. Having a low impedance would imply that it may work better with solid state amps with a low output impedance, but I wonder if some of you had success with tube amps as too. People seem to recommend gears like WA6SE or ZDSE, but are there other choices one could think of?
It emerged as a front-runner with all genres inside my diverse music library...never looking back.

Yes you do indeed have a very diverse music library. If I do say so myself..

anyone pair their D7000 with a Little Dot I+ hybrid?
i've been reading that this doesn't match well because of the LD's high output impedance, but at the same time, many people recommend the LD with the D7000's because the "Little Dot I+ is specifically designed and optimized for driving low impedance headphones that require high current to perform to their full potential" (from the LD website).
i like them together, but i don't have much else to use as a comparison (i've listened to the D7000's out of a Fiio E9, which I find terrible - really bloats the bass). so i'm wondering if the LD is a good pairing with the Denon's?

Yeah, that is unfortunate. I see the perspective of the OP especially with people blindly recommending amps, but a lot of the "requirements" made me go .... Well, honestly all of them did to some extent.
The OP says right off the bat that tube amps aren't recommended for the Denon D Series, which would seem to go against the experience of many Head-fiers so that thread got off on the wrong foot from the get-go. Although I would have to say that I agree regarding the WA22; my brief experience with that amp and a D5000 made me trade that headphone away. Right before I mailed it off I plugged it into the modest SS x-head amp and it sounded great, making me regret my decision instantly. Since then, I have gone through another D5K and a D2K which I kept. I will hopefully be re-visiting this conundrum again soon with a refurbished D7K...
