Hello, I've been wondering if all Flux amps do this crackling noise when turning them off or is it just my unit (FA-12s)? It does a nice single click when turning it on, but that turning off crackle makes me curious.
From memory, I think mine does that too. I don’t think it’s a crackle sound, but it’s a different sound than turning it on sound.

I like that it matches the mushroom

You may have discussed about this somewhere in this thread but any advice on what Flux amp model would pair well with HEK, Utopia, HE6 OG? I have seen FA10 and HE6 pairing however its the HEK V2 and the Utopia that I use more often and I'm concerned about balance with these neutral bright-ish HPs. I'm looking at either FA12 or FA22. My DAC is Gustard X26 Pro.

I highly suggest a darker r-2r kind of DAC like a Soekris dac2541 for FluxLab amps. If you go for an FA-10 amp; they are inherently bright amps that need the synnergy.

A Gustard x26 Pro would be nice with a Bryston BHA-1 amp or so.

I run the FA-10 from the X26 fed by a Gaia ddc. I absolutely love the chain; I love the musicality, the detail, the "space"in the music. The sound is just so intoxicating to me. I would not describe it as bright at all. To my ears it is very neutral. It beautifully drives everything I listen to regardless of impedence or sensitivity: HE6seV2, Aeolus, Heddphone, Clear, LCD-X, Beyer T1. I have no desire to get any other SS amp or DAC - may add a different tube amp.
