Looking for a new build, something higher-end and SS... started my journey with a iMod mini, CMOY, SSMH, Gainclone, Mini3, Gamma1 and a SOHAII.
At the time I was using HD580s, which have since been sold and will be replaced with HD600/HD650/HD6xx one of them. I'm also interested in planars, maybe the Sundara.
So I haven't built an OTL or higher-end SS headphone amp. Considering building the latter and I wanted some ideas on what I should pursue, given what I've built and hence something "technically" better.
So thinking of builds based on some perusing:
I'd like to keep the cost sub $500, though I'd have some room for something exceptional. Please, open to suggestions.
On a tangent, I hear Bottlehead Crack or SEX mentioned a lot for OTL... thoughts?

- M3
- Beta22 (2-channel)
