so, i was reading a lot about RAAL in the past few weeks and beside their amps they use to build and the Schiit Jotunheim R Amp that no longer available... etc...
what you guys can share from your experience for the BEST amp for RAAL headphones,
lets take the CA1+ SR1 and the new ones (from 1995) on the way, together for this discussion without divided... as we all know the SR1 are the hardest but they all use interfaces and they all low impedance etc. so no need to get to a cluster f#$^ about that

to make it a bit more educational for everybody that will look for it in the future, lets set some lead points -

1 - its must to be available to buy (not discontinued) and from a known brand (not DIY and such)
2 - best head amp for value (lets say up to 1500$\eu)
3 - best head amp for "decent" budget (lets say up to 4500)
4 - best head amp "all assault" (money is no object)
5 - best amp (head or stereo...) - money is no issue.

shoot.

thanks!

Pass INT-25 used on the high side - i was wowed, not sure you can blast them w/ that power, but I'd be happy

Schiit Rag 1 used or 2 (used or new) - have the juice, not Pass quality, but more than good enough - esp with an R2R DAC

Trafomatic Primavera. CA-1a‘s bass is insane out of Primavera.
