I am fortunate to have a very nice audio setup, so I use 'phones only when reading in bed or to have tunes when visiting friends or relatives. For this reason, an amp with a DC jack is a big plus and an amp that is "mobile" is more important than an amp that is "portable".
I'm currently using a Panasonic portable CD player to feed an older Total Airhead running my Senn 580's. I am fond of the crossfeed circuit, but have never heard any other headphone amp so I have no point of comparison. I'm considering an amp upgrade (new or used) of less than $300.
What amps do you recommend and at this price point? Given the portable CD source, is it possible an amp upgrade wouldn't offer significant improvement in the sound?
TIA.
