You had me at "upgrade"!  Though my grad student budget is quite strained after my recent purchases...I do like the sound of giant killer!  Are you using the stock op-amps?

Those LCD's don't come cheap! But they're very well sorted, IMO. And the H10 is excellent, especially for the money (a fair bit cheaper than the 'phones).
I really don't know how it compares to the other amps, based on the same circuit (with the brand name original costing about 3x as much!), but I wouldn't quite call it a giant killer, yet; not with the standard op-amps that I'm using, anyway.
It might be a bit much to ask, from just swapping op-amps, to hope that it might become comparable to the best semi-affordable, semi-high-end amps. But some folk here have been very impressed with their 'swabbing'! I'll find out, for myself, one day.
 
But anyway, I don't think that you'll be needing to upgrade your 'phones; not for a while yet.

Anyone using the amp with the he-560s? I am thinking about upgrading..

Only about 100 of us swabbies...an amazingly good pairing!

I cannot wait to get this amp... It's going to be a long month wait for massdrop to ship. I'm told my 400i and k7xx will pair up nicely as well.

I can't speak from experience; I own neither, and I sold my he400 before getting the H10. But, I understand that both 'phones need a bit of raw power, and a bit of raw power the H10 has. So, hopefully they should all be a good combo.

Anyone interested in the Gustard H10, please send me a PM. I just upgraded my amp and no longer need my H10. It is in perfect working condition and sounds awesome! send me a pm, lets make a deal.

I use it with my HE500 and HD800. it is exceptional with the HE500, but i feel is a little lacking with HD800. Ultimately, i am upgrading to an Auralic Taurus MKII because of the HD800, if not, i could have kept my H10 forever.

I'm keeping mine to keep the HD-800 & HE-400 in check as far as highs. I find both have some highs that can hit my ears hard. I prefer the HD-800 with the BH S.E.X. Can't wait to hear it on the BH Mainline. In the meantime the H-10 must stay
 
P.S. If you want Audeze bass to really rumble it's a great amp too.

The H10 works well with my K7XX, HE-400i and HE-500.  Well matched for these cans.

I have that set. Exceptional with great punch, air and overall tonal balance. For the money asked for h10 it is a must have at least for HE560

 

[mandrake50]

Indeed, it is a very nice combination. Using the Pulse Infinity balanced out into the H10 with the 560 is the best I have heard them.

Which of the HiFiman can yields the best bass response from the H10? And what about MrSpeakers Mad Dog Pro or Alpha Primes - bass response with H10? Yes...closed back

Do not have any first-hand knowledge, but many moons (and pages) ago somebody mentioned that surprisingly, there was not much synergy between Mad Dogs and H10. Whatever it may mean.
