High End Headphones And HP Amp.

Today I’m taking a blind leap of faith (no audition) and purchasing a set of Focal Stellia HPs and a NAIM Uniti Atom Headphone Edition headphone amp. The new NAIM Uniti Atom HE amp is getting rave reviews. I need a set of high end closed phones and top notch HP amp. The amp is brand new on the market. I thought I’d take a (long) shot in the dark and see if anyone has heard this HP amp and/or the Stellia phones? Thank you.

For the life of me I can NOT understand WTH listeners are hearing with Focal.I demo’d Clear & Utopia,like sticking my head in an aluminum can & listening.
ABSOLUTELY no natural,organic warmth,NO SOUL!NOTHING but a cold,lifeless,mechanical presentation & that was off a HIGHLY regarded tube amp..
As for the Naim,never heard one but VERY pricey considering a few hundred $ more gets you a complete integrated solution that also drives speakers like the Pathos "Classic Remix"or a gently used McIntosh MHA-100/150..
