Best headphone amp.


Looking for the best headphone amp to use with my Senn HD-600s. Should I go with X-Cans or Creek? Other options? Anyone have any experience with the sonic characteristics of either?

Amity HPA 2L is the best solid-state high-end dedicated headphone amp for normal headphones that I know. It is puristic Class A with only one transistor, and fully double-mono with two volume knobs one for each channel, a high-quality built in power transformer, and high-quality gold RCA inputs for one component. It should cost between $300 to 400 new. I bought mine for $75 used. It is built in a small town in Germany, and I do not know if it is sold in the USA, but it is well worth seeking out. (--What I would really like to see is a tube headphone amp with two 300B output tubes. The closest you can get to that is the Manley 300B preamp right now (it has two headphone outputs).)
