Am pretty new to the forum but have a few questions on HP amps maybe someone can chime in on.
Currently am using HD 650s, HD 800S and HE1000HE phones. Current amp is a valhalla 2 tube HP amp.
Current source is either a May DAC or pretty high end vinyl playback (both using RCA outs but both have balanced outs).

1. Was wondering if I moved up in amps has anyone tried the PL EVO 100 as a HP amp?
2. One the 100 do you know if the headphone socket is fed off the output transformers directly or does it go through a voltage divider network first?
3. any other suggestions on tube headphone amps?

Thanks very much.
John

One of the best headphone tube amps wround that 3k mark is still Cayin ha-6a. Awesome tube Rolling options aswell and unbeatable power without breaking ur gear. Usually power tube amps got audible hiss and distortion when used with sensitive headphones so its not optimal.
