MOST POWERFUL - and cheap

[539465]

to Rival amps like the Cayin C5/Fiio A5/E12

Want something powerful and cheap, these are usually on sale for $60-80 on ebay but the market is poop rn with a bunch of high offers not selling

need to run Sundara and 600ohm DT990 as well as the other headphones I have price limit is because I have $50 galaxy buds so no point in me spending $100+

Will use dirt cheap power if needed and CHi-fi with warranty ETC

looking at Aune B1/s because they are going for $110-140 with warranty but I think those aren't powerful enough

E1DA 9038/PowerDAC v2 and Walnut F2 both are capable enough of driving the headphones you mentioned.

320mW@32Ohm
nothing to sneeze at but my DT990 running 220+mW on my Schiit 3 wasn't really enough, there is nothing enough for the headphones I use ex. sundara yes with this power will do fine but really needs more to wakeup, I guess it';s a pipe dream since the ones imentioned are out of production since there may be no market but those are all pushing 800+mW @ 32ohms I would settle for less at 32 and more at higher impedence but I think the portable market is kind of bad rn for ineffecient headphones which is shame because batteries are sooooo cheap

EDIT- looking at walnut right now seems promising
if anyone has power output plz post and if Walnut F2 and Walnut V2 are the same

Minor differences between Walnut F2 and V2S. V2S is probably out of production. F2 easily available on AliExpress.

Folks over here can share the specs with you - https://www.head-fi.org/threads/wal...-killer-combo-dap-amp-ok_hand.828315/page-233

From what i understand you are looking for portable one ?

But if not, take a look at this: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/no...audio-hifi-stereo-headphone-amp.22115/reviews

Thats their site: https://www.doukaudio.com/collections/headphone-amplifier-382

Does not need to be the tube one, they have others it seems. I don't own any of them, just saw this review in head-fi here months ago and seems to be ok.
