Greetings,
With so many great headphones coming out today that are not the normal 300ohm plus for high quality cans, what are the good power options? I have a pair of Focal Classics which are wonderful. I like them much better than my Sennheiser HD600s and slightly better than my beyerdynamic DT880s. But how to power them? They seem a little fussy about power. I have a Parasound Halo P5 integrated and audio quest dragonfly v1.2. They both are improved upon significantly by putting my Ray Samuels P-51 Mustang in series. I love the P-51 but would prefer something more dedicated for home listening. Its a little clunky to have a 1/8th inch jack out from the audio quest or p5 to the small lightweight P-51 to my big heavy cables. I worry it will eventually wear the connections on the P-51.
It an interesting question in general and I would like some specific advice too for my situation.
Thanks!
Nate
