Hello Head-Fi!

I am in the market for a rather good solid state headphone amp. I've got a Jotunheim atm and want to go higher. My absolute max budget is 2000AUD. I don't mind second hand if in good condition. Just needs to work in Australia. I didn't like the V200 when I had it, sounded WAY too warm for me. I don't mind a bit of brightness but not too excessive. Does anyone have any suggestions. Using a HE500 balanced but getting a HEX and a LCD3.

Current interested in:
2nd hand Auralic Taurus
Cayin IHA 6 Full Balanced amp

I use a Keces S3 with my HE-500, wonderful pairing

Thanks for that suggestion. Though I just really need a headphone amp. No need for a DAC section as I've got a good one I like already.

Is the Master 9 comparable with the Cayin IHA 6 or the Auralic Taurus
