How is the synergy with hd650 my only headphone.Any one compared schiit heresy with sp200.

I think the pairing of an ultra neutral amp with a slightly warm headphone like the hd650 (HD6xx in my case) is perfect. To my ears, the pairing lets the Sennheisers give you detail but never painful amounts.

I would say the HD650/6XX pairing with the SP200THX isn't a bad one. I think the powerful neutral/dry sound of the little THX amp puts out sounds decent when paired with the 6XX but I still use a Schiit Loki to bring up the lower base and mid bass to my taste. I prefer the LYR3/Bifrost to the SMSLSP200THX with the 650, and I know the 6XX benefit significantly from OTL tube amps such as the Bottlehead Crack with Speedball which I will be building soon.

I owned the Heresy right before the SP200 arrived at my doorstep. I returned the Schiit Heresy, nice amp and a hell of a value as well but. The SP200 was so definitively more clear, more resolving and it was immediately apparent it was special. After 2 straight weeks of breaking in its removed that little harsh edge it had that I noticed at first. I am extremely happy, its going to take a something really special for me to upgrade at any price.

Yes, it is one of the best amps I have ever had the pleasure of hearing.

Interesting, because the sp200 brings out full bodied incredible bass in my 800S, Clear, XC, and X. It pushed them as well as my beefy Bryston.

Listening to the new paul van dyk album with the sp200 and x. Wow, what a powerful beautiful sounding combo.

Interesting..After reading the review on this over at Audiosciencereview, I think I might get this over the monolith THX amp. Really itching to get a fully balanced set up going. Has anyone used this amp with the HD650/660s?

From what I understand it is not balanced, therefore I use the se input and output.

It was my go to amp for awhile with the 6XX, and I still use it today with the a Schiit Loki and D90. I also have several other amps and DACS now.

I would urge you to check a few other reviews besides ASR, they are good for understanding measurements as well as learning what gear measures well but unless you listen with your eyes see what others think of it’s sound vs. other solid state, hybrid and tube amps. My 2cents as a current owner.

Hi, I'm a happy owner of the sp200, listening with the beyerdinamic amiron and tin audio t2, a show, which headphones match best with this amplifier?

 

[cirodts]

I listen to the sp200 connected to my ibasso dx220, listening in line out the sound is a little sterile and without body, if I connect in headphone output instead the sound is full-bodied and perfect, why is it better in headphone output than in line out?

Along with the bryston bha1 it's one of the best amps I've ever heard and ever owned. Totally worth it and highly recommended.

I think for a used price or on sale it’s a good little amp to have. I still enjoy mine with certain headphones.

I tried it with HD600's and was completely underwhelmed. Not a great combo, IMO.
I liked the HD58X's with it better actually.

Well with audeze planar phones it's stellar.
