Thank you for the reference to the old thread, It seems like the Pio Elite A 35 r Hp jack is made for low impedance cans. The Senn HD 280 pro ( 64Ohm) sounds smooth at not a sign of sibilance. I also tried the Sen HD 650 with the A 35R and the mid-range is just like magic. Diana krall voice in " Live in Paris" is as silky as it could be. The cymbals are crisp and the Piano sounds just right on spot. Is it what they call " moffset output stage of the A 35 R ?
I have 2 mosfet amps and both have a nice warm sound. From what I've read, that's typical. Sounds like you probably won't get much improvement buying a dedicated head amp. I have a Shiit Asgard and it's not significantly different sounding than my vintage Realistic STA-2200 that it sits next to. It is about 10% the size though and probably draws a lot less.
