    Can you use this as a preamp?

    What cans @brencho? This little guy seems like a great match for the HD600

    @monacelli yeah definitely, using JAR-600 and also bocote Auteur, both great matches out of high impedance. @zonto maybe but I can’t test it out for you! Has low impedance and high impedance headouts.

    Sweet. I have not heard the ZMF cans (they make my bank account cry), but the Auteur are the ones that interest me the most

    The high and low outputs are part of the beauty of this amp, offering a slight tweak to the sound if one should desire, without going down the tube abyss.

    How does it compare to your recently departed Bryston?

    It has a ridiculous value for a ridiculous low price. Sounds damn good with all of the high and low z dynamic headphones I’ve thrown at it. The amp we all need but the amp we don’t deserve.

    Phantanium said it best! As for the Bryston, it’s a great solid state amp, prob my fave solid state actually and can handle a huge array of headphones, has a frigging channel balance knob, can be a preamp etc. as a straight headamp for higher impedance cans the sw51 has captured my imagination
