All, I just started my journey into the headphones as has always been the proponent of full-size speaker setups. However recently I saw a need for a headphone setup to compliment my main rig, mainly to do music listening late at night when my family sleeps. I've been searching for a good budget headphone amp to use with my Senn HD 598 that I received recently as present (willing to upgrade later with no questions), and I was offered a lightly used and in great condition Musical Fidelity X-Can v8p for not a lot of money. If fact before this offer I was considering buying Matrix M-Stage or Schiit Asgard, which will cost me the same money as the X-Can v8p. I know it is quite an old model and not lot of online reviews, so I hoped that this forum may help me in my selection. Should I consider this Musical Fidelity amp or go back to my original choices of Matrix/Schiit?
For reference, the source for the headphone amp will Nad M51 fed by my music PC via USB. Thanks.
