Headphone amps


Hello there again, curious everyone’s thoughts on the following headphone amps?
Pass Labs HPA1, Benchmark HPA4, and the SPL Phonitor xe ? I know there are many options. I listen to a variety of music overall but enjoy rock most of the time. Also open to other options, thanks again.

I have had many head amps over the last twenty five years. I imported a really high current one from Germany, but no question in my mind the best are made by Woo. The power and natural sound set them apart. I own three. You can see my current headphone system under my UserID.

Benchmark is known for “highly accurate” sound… which I think many find to be “too accurate”. I run in the opposite direction when I hear these descriptions. I want to be drawn in to the music and emotionally connected… which is what my systems do. Others prefer something else.
