Was reading about the iFi iDSD Micro earlier today, it's definitely on my short list although a bit over what I was hoping to spend.

 
Never mind, was using Amazon for pricing. I see there are places where it can be had for just under $500. Thanks!

Way past burn-in for my second HE-560 and just now for the H10, pianos now sound perfect. No more quibbles.

@Wildcatsare1
, just curious. does that mean you are not planning on getting the Ether?

Yes, the more I thought about the comparison, the less I thought the Ether was a significant step up from my modded 560. I would rather wait for the HE6's replacement or the HE1000 (used on that one). The Ether is a great HP, but not $600.00 better than the 560.

Glad to hear they are finally perfect.

What amps do you guys think pair the best with the HE-560 and provide sufficient power? I have the Magni 2 Uber but on high gain and it seems a little underpowered.

I quite like the Lyr!

Haha yes I'm getting a similar feeling. Want the best combo for the HE-560.

Bifrost Uber and Lyr 2 are a great combo.

The best can be very expensive. There's some reasonable priced gear mentioned with the Lyr 2. The only thing is finding tubes can be a tedious and long process if you want to find the perfect tube.

Nice keyboard That used to be my main keyboard before I got a tkl.

Haven't compared it to other amps, but I like the sound out of my Ray Samuels HR-2.

Here's to searching for the best amp for 560:

I use the Garage 1217 Ember. There's a love affair between it and the HE-560. I have three or four different tubes that I use (depending on if I want more bass, more mids, or just a nice neutral sound with outstanding vocals). I find the Ember to provide just the right amount of warmth (not too warm). And it definitely has enough power to drive the HE-560.

True-but some CRAZY people like me seem to enjoy the "tedious and long process."

With the cost of the Lyr2 and lots of tube rolling you could have been well on your way to eventually saving up for a Ragnarok.
