Please let us know your impressions comparing the AIC 10 Riviera with the Benchmark ahb2. With its very low noise floor it may be more transparent when used as a headphone amp with the Susvara. It is also a steal at its list price.
yes of course, keep in mind that ahb2 is only a final and you must have a source with adjustable volume, while Riviera is an integrated amplifier with 3 inputs and adjustable volume and has the best headphone output I've ever tested and can drive all the headphones with a very high quality.
For now I anticipate that yes, the instrumental black on the Benchmark is very very good and this is a sensation that you immediately perceive, but now it has to play a few hours and then I have to pay attention to the volume, with my Nadac I cannot push over -22db , I'm seriously thinking of a Hifiman he adapter to have no problems...
