Well, I've had nothing to update in quite a long time, as I don't purchase much. Thankfully, FedEx delivers on Sunday and I'm now in possession of what I truly believe is my endgame headphone amp (go ahead and laugh, as I know many of you think there is no end and gear purchasing just keeps going). I'm a gear minimalist of all the headphone amps I've auditioned over the past couple of years (not a ton, but many), this is my favorite and now I've got one!

You're fortunate to not be treble-sensitive. Or you're plenty sensitive to it, but interpret it as pleasing. Either way, you get to hear a headphone (among others) that would send me to the freezer for ice packs for my head.
I was this way 40+ years ago...hardly a new thing. Never liked audio gear with strong presence in the upper mids & treble.
I think this goes for a lot of us who were weaned on Cerwyn Vegas and Altec Lansings with 15” woofers - we want everything to be bass-centric. I’ve overcome it intellectually, but it’s still there deep down in the firmware - I’m always initially drawn to deep bass/punchy mid-bass, and off-put by forward uppper-mids/lower-treble.

Hilarious. Although continents away, yeah, exactly.
But I watched the loudness wars of the 1970s and ensuing graphic EQ abusaganza with a jaundiced eye, even back in the day. I want good bass, but I want everything else good with it. At the beginning and at the end, the goal of audiophile quest is to reproduce the live music experience.
And by the way, since I was around in the time of Cerwin Vega and Altec Lansing, I scratch my head (or something else) when I see companies selling dedicated subs with 8, 10, or 12 inch drivers. Srlsly

Whenever I see these amazing front plate with these beautiful cooper "eyes" it's an instant hit.
Like the style of Holo Audio.
The amp looks great too.
