Will it have more juice, so it can drive HE6 as well?

Not too dynamic but too detailed to the pint of missing the low end
Perhaps a bit thin
But there is many things to consider first is choice mening mine.
Next would be the system and it headphone used.
But clearly they were the most analytical and detailed of the bunch. Also to consider the lampi build as the one I had was two rec tubes
And now after some mods it's now a 1 rec tube dac.
Also rec tubes matter plenty but not as much with the two tube rec setup.
My current fave is the Elrogs 300B. They seem to have it all so far.
My head dac should arrive next week. Let's see what it does
It's going to play dsd 256 with the new digital board installed.
No it will not. I personally sent him my pair to let him hear them and my hd800 as well. The he 6 can be used but play low.
Luk even removed the output transformers in trying but not enough power to play loud.
The revised head dac is even more improved from the beta I had. It is dead quite as it was before and can be used with most headphones made. I also will try some iems as well.
I look forward to listening to it and I will post as best I can what I hear

The DSD section can be replaced in New Jersey by Taras, I am told. So Tristate is cool.
Another point to make is the hdmi input I have it's is ps audio compliant (PCM so far, DSD to come) so it's good for the Sonore and other servers
That to me is putting the lampi a head of the curve a bit.
Now getting back to tube rolling, this feature alone makes it just a wonderful journey after change is always good and finding a perfect fit is always a joy for me.
The new one is PCB based and yes it's the same digital section design, so it's no brainer to buy the head Dac over a big 7 .
And yes it has a driver tube as well.
My fav here is a nos tungsol vt99 with a base adaptor. It's far and away my favorite only a black based GE driver 6sn7 comes close.
This vt99 is also my driver tube in my woo WES amp As well. They can be had as real new nos military grade tubes for about 95 usd
And 20 for the socket adaptor.
A must for lampi head dac owners
I have an audio buddy who has two lampis :
One B7 and one coming head dac
My head dac is on time to ship out tomorrow
So I cannot wait to unpack that baby and burn it in.
Brian,
AL asked me to post this for him:

Dsd direct a lampi only input. Reserved for only the very best in dsd. But when you have one its wow among wow moments.
