Help Choosing Headphone Amp for Audeze LCD-2

We've been using the Bryston BHA-1 as our reference headphone amp for Audeze demos. It's also too bad the OPPO HA-1 was discontinued, because its balanced headphone output is excellent with Audeze.

I've heard great things about the Moon Audio Dragon Inspire headphone amp, and if it's anything like the Dennis Had built Inspire SEP power amp I have, it's likely to be real good. Plus, it looks cool.

Yea, was just looking at that. Will give Moon a call and schedule a listen.

They also have the Bryston and Pass!

Emotiva A-100, $300 and done.

Innerfidelity states 2.4mW into 47ohm to reach 100dB with your speakers, this offers 250mW factory and 8500mW with jumpers!

There’s also the Monoprice tube headphone amp/pre with ESS Sabre DAC, which will give 1000mw, and the soon to be released Monolith headphone amp/pre with dual AKM 4493 DACs & Dual AAA-788 Modules.

Don’t care if you spend $3000, it won’t be worthwhile over these options.  
 
Your headphones are $1000, it’s super silly to spend more on an amp than on your actual headphones. Even if you want to use it as a pre-amp, you don’t need to spend much to get one that sounds good either.

I've experimented with many Headphone/Preamp combos for quite some time now and have settled into the Pass Labs HPA-1 with a Chord Qutest. The Pass is equally at home with Preamp duties as it is with driving headphones.
