I have narrowed down my search for a tube based amp (and DAC) to the Little Dot MK IV SE with the DAC 1 or the Maverick AI with the DC2.   I want to run my Sennheiser 700 with a nice starter amp and DAC.  
 
Any recommendations?

I have two working Little Dot amps. The II and the VI+. The Maverick AI and the Little Dot have different features sets. The Maverick is a hybrid meaning it has solid state outputs that delivers 20 watts per channel to small speakers. The Headphone amp on the Maverick is all tube driven. The Little Dot all tube,has pre-amp outputs from the tubes that can drive a powered studio monitor, receiver or a power amp that can drive bigger speakers. It depends if you want 20 watts at the output or just a pre-amp outputs and both of course have headphone jacks as well.

I should add that the make of the headphones could also be a factor in your choice.
