Best Headphone Preamp Cost No Object

Can I please have your first hand impressions and recommendations for a "cost no object" dedicated Headphone Amplifier that you've listened to? I own upgraded Sennheiser HD650s and a Wadia 860x to feed the amp. I don't want/need balanced capability. I'd like to know what is currently possible by purchasing New. Tubes OR solid state are fine, I'd just like to know what the "Audio Intelligentia" thinks is cool these days.

Go to headfi.com to get all the detailed scoop. There are a number of boutique manufacturers there.
Singlepower is one that has been very well received; has a number of models with all sorts of customization possibilities. I have an Audiovalve RKV MK2, which is quite punchy and wakes up the sometimes laid back Senns. Rudistor is another small shop from Europe which has some top notch product.
