Mapman, From your other posts i know you use a computer as a source. Great for a multi system person. Sounds like you need a tube headphone amp, preamp combination. Maybe one that includes DAC. I am thinking this is what I need as well. One way I found around the DAC issue is to use a HRT music streamer connected directly to the inputs of my Schiit Vahalla via dual male RCA connectors I found on Ebay. The Vahalla lacks pre outs however.
Tube integrated amp under $1000
Getting close to taking a plunge on a small tube integrated amp preferably under $1000. Open for suggestions. Small size and WAF matters. The two leading contenders I have actually heard are Glow Audio Amp 1 and Jolida fx10.
Only knock I know of against either is Jolida runs hot and can shorten lifespan. How has that turned out for owners?
Will run 90db small monitors initially and needs a headphone Jack as well. Ability to drive lower impedance headphones like Sennheiser Momentum without noise or hum desired.
