I'll have to ask tomorrow to check what gain it's using, DAC wise I'm using a standard integrated sound card, E10, ODAC, Dacmagic PLUS and a Primare DVD26.
What you're facing here is the usual fission vs. fusion lynching party. You've obviously made an effort to gather a few different variables and report on your findings and there's no harm in that, and neither is it something to shy away from. What Preproman is so uneloquently saying here, with the aid of unnecessary pictures, is that some of us have found success with high current, high quality speaker amps. KG recently posted some thoughts on driving requirements when discussing the GSX a few pages back, I suggest you refer to that if you want an actual informed opinion. Post your thoughts here when you finish your write up.
And what will the lcd-4 cost....$3000.00?
I do like my HE6 out of a mini X speaker amp and it is better than my Mjolnir but my Mjolnir isn't terrible either. I think some headphone amps do a good enough job but the list of headphone amps that would do well on them isn't very long. I would be happy with the Mjolnir if I never heard better

Rawster,
Is the mini amp your preferred amp for the he-6"s.
I've been using the mj/gng ,for the last few weeks ,with a Moon silver dragon v3 cable ,and find this setup excellent
Wondering ,if I should re-connect the mini-100,just to do an A-B comparison??
Any thoughts?
I haven't compared the two but I prefer the mini X to the Mjolnir for the HE6. I would absolutely try reconnect and see for yourself if you find the same results. Of course we have different dacs but I find the mini X to be the better amp for this headphone. The only thing I like is that If I wanted to use the Mjolnir after the mini X I need to adjust the preamp function on my dac as I have it much lower when using the HE6 to have more volume control on the amp.
Uh oh! Mike's going to be second guessing himself now! Time to bring out that ol' emotiva!
