I listened to the earlier Phonitor and it like all SPL gear is great. It was a while back but you should try to demo one. I bought my RME DAC from a local professional sound dealer and they had many SPL products there. They are nice.
Luxman is great too. I like their new stuff.
So is Benchmark. Another great company. I remember back in 06 or 07 I did a tradeshow and everyone was crowded around the new Benchmark DAC 1 trying to listen through phones. I credit Benchmark with more or less igniting the Headphone /DAC craze. Not sure if they were the "first" but in my opinion it was the first headphone amp / DAC worth buying
Audition if possible or at least have a return priviledge , it's really a matter of taste with headphones.
