My advice is that if headphones are your primary transducers that you should save up some money and buy a good headphone amp. I bought a couple and sold one the one I kept became the subject of scandle but man it sounds good and I am keeping it.
It is OTL that uses 8060 out put tubes and a 6SN7 input I think solid state rectified. I have tweaked it with superior NOS tubes. It is a killer amp, my headphones are AKG 701s.
The discredited thief bad guy head phone amp builder is SinglePower. People adored this guy until he started ripping off people, his amps also had some safety issues, but at the end of the day, his amp sounds great, it really does. Too bad it has no resale value but I listen to my gear and don't use them as investments if I can avoid it. This did cost over a grand but he was still loved when I bought it.
