Gustard H16 is worth a look if you can stretch a bit, or even better a used Singxer SA-1 will give you that warm Class A amp goodness. Best of luck.
Inexpensive, neutral-to-warm sounding SS headphone amp?
Looking to get a headphone amp solely for evening listening after wife has gone to bed.
Using modest (Grado SR225 phones). Although I've read these are considered bright
I've never experienced them as such but then, I'm particularly sensitive to fatguing highs
so I don't own any bright-sounding components.
My DAC is Aqua La Voce S2.
Budget: $200 new or used. Two possibilities, so far;
Schiit Magni
Geshelli Labs Archel2.5 Pro
Any other suggestions?
