Hi All, simple dilemma: Ive upgraded a lot of my headphones since the last amp i got

What I got/had:
Senn HD650
TH-X00
Schiit Jotunheim (not multibit)

What I've gotten since:
Grado Hemp
Focal Utopia (might downgrade to Clear(MG)
Aeon 2 Noire
**Campfire Audio Andromeda 2020** - Working with iems would be nice but much less necessary

I'm wanting an amp (or amp/dac) that does this gear justice and ideally theres a good do-it-all for the HP i own, namely the huge chasm in difference between the focals and the noires. I've always wanted to build a Bottlehead Crack, but now worried that/OTL...or any tube really will cause too much harmonic distortion for the Aeon Noires. I'm happy to go up to maybe 1500 new or used but ideally 1000 or less.

Considering:

Bottlehead Crack
XDuoo TA-30 / TA-26
Burson Stuff: Conductor 3x Performance etc.
iFi Neo iDSD
Woo Wa7 Fireflies
...open to other suggestions of course

Thanks for the help!

Hello,
According to the stats, the Woo Audio you have chosen will work with the Aeon Noire because it has 14 ohms.
The amp can play low as well as high impedance, the others cannot.
So most of this has already been said if you are considering the Noire in the future.
The amps could play low impedance, but they don't have to.

I have the Aeon R/T and it doesn't work with the Feliks Euforia amp.

The Wa6 would be interesting if you want to speculate on a different dac or be flexible in that respect.
