    I don’t have those cans, but I do have massdrop senn 6xx, and I think it sounds pretty good with those. I generally use my utopias with it, but I really don’t use it for headphones too much. I mostly use it for 2 channel listening. It was definitely harder to build than a bottlehead crack or mainline, which were relatively easy. The only other tube amp I have to compare it to is a mainline, and I have had the time to do a side by side comparison.

    Thanks for the reply, but i am no more enlightened in how this sounds.

    Is it quiet, are the mids rich, does it have extension in the highs and the lows, is it punchy, is it soft, is it dynamic?

    I have read some other forums but no one gives too much info.

    I mean can it drive 300ohm headphones.

    How does it compare with a 1000-1500 euro solid state amp (because this is how much it would cost with tubes and/or upgrades).

    Is it worth the money as a headphone amp?

    Sorry for beeing pushy.

    Not likely worth the money if used primarily as a headphone amp.
