I'm liking the "portable" swiss army knife, IFI IDSD Micro BL. As soon as I get my Fostex HP-V1 portable tube amp fixed, I can't wait to test out both at the same time.

I've read that Pathos Aurium have good synergy with the TH-900 but i never heard it, beside its out of your budget ,

me my i self i am not a big fan of hybrid tube amps , i tried the WA7, WA8, iFi Pro iCAN and i have Hafler HA75 and they all have tubes and all to my ears lack the depth and musicality with my th900 ,

i tried the WA6 (pure tube amp) for brief time and it was very very smooth, musical , but i remember it was week amp and lacked the punch (maybe too smooth)

you can upgrade to a better solid-state amp ,, i dont know about the black micro idsd but i have the old silver one and it is good as portable solution, although not the best choice for the th-900 ,

i advise you to check the Fostex HPA8 ,, you can find it used for 400-500$, it is very musical , above it price in sound quality , have enough power to utilize the full potential of the th900 driver, also tuned for the th-900 (i love it with all my other headphones) and it have a lot of features specially the gain steps which give huge flexibility to tune its sound to your taste .. i highly recommend it to any one for any headphone (other than the Beyerdynamic & mrspeaker).

I’m researching the Hafler Ha75. I like the tweaking options. You mentioned you’re not into the tube sound. Do you still have this amp and would you consider selling it?

I am very happy with my FiiO X7/AM3 and X7 (2nd Gen) combos.

I've been using my TH900 with the iBasso DX150 (4.4mm bal with AMP8). Cannot recommend it enough. Only downside is it's slightly bulky size.

ifi xDSD works super well with the th900.

Cheers

In case you really manage to compare 1. - 4. please share your experience.
I would be especially interested which of them are the most fun / engaging combos together with a TH900

If anyone want to throw in a Sony pha-3 impression or refresher, that would be cool too. For awhile I thought about buying that instead of the IFI BL but I like the 6.3mm headphone output jack on the IFI BL.

Just plugged in my TH900 blues for the first time. First impressions are really good. My original th900 mk1s have treated me well for 3 years, but when I saw the changes made with the anniversary model I had to give it a shot. I think the blues are an upgrade, don't know for sure yet will take some time. The sound is obviously very similar. I think the vocals may be the biggest difference. I am terrible at describing audio, I just know when it feels right, and the blues feel right.

 

[arielext]

The blues feel right indeed!

.. but imo the green steal the looks .. god I love the finish on the green TH900s eventhough I went for the blue ones
