TOTL Headphone Amps


Looking for some feedback on what TOTL headphone amps people are using.  I used a Auralic Taurus MkII for a couple years, and I'm currently using a Rogue Audio RH-5.  I'm considering moving on to a Moon 430HA.  Has anyone tried the 430HA and RH-5?  Are there other headphone amps in this price range that I should be considering?

Three noteworthy amps, from my experience:

Benchmark HPA4 - maximum transparency and detail, clinical in its precision 

Ampsandsound Bigger Ben - incredible musicality, a touch of warmth, lots of power

JDS Labs EL II - All-around solid performer at a budget price of $250

The Darkvoice 336SE OTL amp would be an interesting choice, haven't heard it but I imagine it'll have a distinct sound: alas, I've heard about quality control issues.
