Would people say these cans benefit more from a tube amp or non-tube amp? In the process of getting my hands on a 2nd hand Vali but not sure if I'd be better off with the Magni 2 they have for sale instead. I was buying the amp for my Q701s but I'm selling them to pay for these instead.
Most people would prefer a SS amp for these but I'm sure either one would be good (depending on your tastes that is). You should also factor in whether you will be using your amp with lower impedance IEMs in the future etc. Tube amps are normally not suitable for IEMs as they tend to have higher output impedances and prone to creating a higher noise floor. The Magni will be suitable for both the Q701s as well as IEMs.
