I bought my first headphone amp in/around 1996.Before that I used the headphone output on my preamp or integrated or cd player. I was surprised how much better the amps sounded.That started my amp obcession.Here is my amp history:
1 audio alchemy hpa v 1.0
2 mccormack micro headphone drive
3 creek obh-11se
4 headphone jack sony c555es sacd player
5 headroom maxed out home on the way
Of these I have had the audio alchemy the longest and I still use it at work. I liked the mccormack the least,to lean sounding. The jack on the sony is closed in sounding but somehow still enjoyable. The creek was very balanced and smooth sounding but I sold it to upgrade further,hence the maxed out home.
