Anyone tried the heddphone with ifi Diablo ? Thinking of getting that DAC+AMP to drive them

I bought the Hedds a couple months ago, paired with, headamp gsx mini, Onkyo Refernce 7000 cd player, furutech gto d2 ncf power distributor, 2 ncf clearlines, blackcat 3202 interconnect, Norne silvergard balanced cable, to my ears Stunning Clarity, mids to die for, and deep deep bass, past hp have been, Shure 1840, focal elear, and clear, Grado gs 2000e, lcdx still have the xs, Hedd is Head and shoulders above these cans by a huge margin. End game for the price. I cant even listen to the lcds anymore..and they are a great headphone.

I am a huge fan of the Adam speakers (and in essence HEDD), and also planar headphones.
As far as i know they always struggled with lower ranges for the AMT driver. They stopped making the AMT mid drivers for a long time (last one was the Adam S4A i believe) How would the bass response be for headphones?

Superb, as deep as lcds any model, pick one I've listened to all of them, its presentation is slightly different than the lcds,

Are they warm / dark or bright headphones ?
Thanks for the impression

when properly amped, they really shine. they are very well extended across all spectrum.

Yes ... and maybe, surprisingly (as AMT is basically used for twetters ?), able to go very far in low frequencies till (10/15 hz without loosing too much DB ?) and being very fast between the lowest frequencies till 500hz and offer very clear and fast impacts/kicks with amazing details in these range of frequencies.
At least, it's faster and goes lower than my TOTL close Headphone like the Ultrasone Ed15 veritas and even my IER-Z1R.

I wonder if any other headphone on the market can do this. As it is almost impossible to drive the HEDDPHONE with a portable amp, I am looking for another Headphone able to produce these impacts... but with a portable player/amp ?

Is there any juice left with the GSX Mini? Absolute control? I like the HE-6se and GSX Mini. Imagine the question is a little redundant, but HEDDphone in the plans...

Specs wise it should do well, but how this combo sounds like? That I'd like to know

And still criminally overlooked due to, well, felt weight and underwhelming comfort.

Absolute control, I run it on high gain, personal preference, but on low gain, even with the most dynamic recording, 2 oclock was as loud as my ears could take, on high gain almost everything thing I have never gets past 11 oclock on the volume

Agreed, took me some getting used to but now, not a problem

Clean, fast dynamic, balanced soundstage,

agree. and the price (esp when some people sells them cheap) is just insanely good for how it performs.

You are using the ifi Diablo with the heddphone ?
