Hi
What headphone amp would people recommend for planar headphones? I have the Hifiman Ananda Nano.
Love a wide soundstage.
Budget: £500-900

Hi there.
If you could elaborate a bit more on where you are coming from (HD600?), and any associated dacs/ amps....then that may be helpful.

I had the hd600 didn’t like its lack of soundstage it sounded like it was coming from inside my head. So I’ve got the Ananda Nano now which is amazing. Currently using Fiio K9 (not pro) as my all in one

How is that working out for you?

Agreed. That's the most important question before jumping to an amp. If you like soundstage, why don't you think of getting a used HD800? They're within your budget and awesome in soundstage and technicalities. Or perhaps if you prefer planars, go for an Arya.

I've had the Ananda and stealth version. The best for soundstage was the Drop One amplifier or Topping A90.

Other directions you could explore is something like Singxer Sa-1, or the Cayin Transformer coupled tube amps.
You can have a bit of wriggle room with planars....
