Hey folks. This will be my first venture into the amp world, so please bear with me. I've owned multiple daps throughout the years, and I believe I've settled on two. My sources are the Shanling M6 Pro, and the Hiby RS6.
Recently picked up the Focal Clear MG. Also looking to run my 58X and Ibasso SR2 through this amp from time to time. I'm looking for something fairly small, but it doesn't need to be class as portable by any means. I'd like the amp to have a 4.4mm balanced connection, but if the right amp doesn't have it, so be it.
It was suggested to me that I should look for an amp with a higher output impedance than what my daps have, specifically for the Clear MG. That being said, I'd also like the amp to work well with my other 2 headphones.
I'm kinda looking at tube and hybrid amps. I want something that will provide a little additional warmth, but nothing crazy warm. I prefer neutral in the upper mids and lower treble. Nothing bright or harsh, and fairly detailed without any in your face hyper analytical detailing. Smooth characteristics.
An amp that was recommended to me is the Schiit Lyr 3, but I would greatly appreciate other recommendations. I'd like to keep at 350 or under, before I start digging the hole deeper. I'd like something that will add a little additional note weight - round and full. Please feel free to ask any questions.
