Hello!

Can anyone tell me something about the sound quality between these
2 Amps?

I will drive a HD 600 with it.
I know, the HEED should be good for the Sennheiser HD 600 but...

Are the RSA Hornet/SR-71 and the HEED in the same SQ league for an HD 600?

Or the difference in SQ are marginal between the HEED and the RSA?

Thanks for any opinions!
Michael

For what is worth I listen to my HD650 from the SR-71 and never thought they were underdriven. I havent listened to the heed though.

I prefer the Heed to either the SR71/Hornet. However you are comparing aples and oranges.

The Heed CanAmp is a fantastic home amp, and Ray's are portable amps. BTW even though I prefer the sound of the SR71 to the Hornet I would get the Hornet if I was to use it as a portable. Smaller, gain switch, and rechargeable battery.

I would like to hear more comparisons between the portable amps and home amps.

I think portables have really improved over the last 2 years, but generally speaking do not exceed the sound of home amps with larger power supplies.

Thanks for for your reply.

I was hoping to get nearly the same SQ with a portable amp like the great new Headphonia (129 €) in class-A mode for my HD 600.
The Headphonia is in the same SQ league like the SR-71/Hornet.

But after reading a lot here, i think the best amp for my HD 600 at home is the
HEED Canamp. (ca. 350 €)
I like "3D sound" and read that the HEED has this DSP effect.

BTW... during i write this, i hear the "Mike Oldfield Exposed" live album loud
with my HD 600. Wow!
Maybe one of the best live albums of all time!

I want hear it with the HEED.

You did well the Heed CanAmp is a fantastic amp. Good luck and enjoy it.

Pink Floyd has respect on this forum and wrote a positive review for the Heed which is high praise.
