Headphone Amp Recommendation

I am trying to decide between the Meier-Audio Arietta and the Channel Islands Audio VHP-2. Both have gotten good reviews. The Arietta is the budget version of the Corda Aria--without the D/A which I don't need.

Has anyone compared these 2 or have comments on either?

Thanks.

Head-fi is full of 20-somethings who like bass so loud it crushes their brains.

I'm not sure I understand your question. If serious headphone listening is your quest, you'll want to look at Stax electrostatics, which have their own amplifiers. Hardly any dynamic headphone comes close. Putting an amp on even an expensive dynamic phone is throwing money away, compared to even the least-expensive Stax outfit.
