Hmmmm. I thought Hifiman was moving away from the need for a serious speaker amp (like the HE6 needed) with the HE1000s and now the Susvara. But now it seems a Mac 275 is needed to get the best out of the Susvara (and the HE1000v2 also maybe?).
This is a 67 pound amp with 11 tubes and it doesn't have any headphone jacks for less demanding headphones, so it's quite a commitment to headphones that require a speaker amp.
And this is a power amp, so you need a preamp (or a level control on your DAC) in addition.
