100+ Head-Fier
I was reading the previous discussions on amp specs requirement wrt to driving the Susvara.
With the output voltage fixed to 6V in the Vivaldi, the Headtrip with 50 watts into 8 ohms has a comfortable volume listening position at 12 o’clock while the Solista with 25Watts into 8 Ohms, the comfortable volume is at around 8 o’clock. Both are class A designs. Both has enough headroom with Susvara or any headphones.
So I believe the topology, implemention, design, output impedance etc of the amp has a major role to play wrt the ability to power and synergise with the top end planers.
