Hi, I liked the RNHP a lot but to my ears, it's not suited for ZMF headphones. It's too dry and the soundstage is too narrow. It doesn't really generate the space to let the ZMFs stretch themselves. The switch from the RNHP to the Aurius was immense, a completely different class of amp. The Aurius is a punchy amp, it gives much more definition to the ZMFs while also making the overall frequence more coherent. I should say, I tend to veer away from overly smooth and "tube like" tube amps - I prefer something that combines speed with warmth. For me, the Aurius is perfect in this respect, and especially because it's so responsive to tube rolling. I would also suggest looking at the Feliks amps, as they would also do a good job. if there's anything specific you want to know about the ZMF/Pathos pairing, let me know.
