    Thanks for the recommendations.
    The Little Dot looks interesting, but if the budget is upped a little the Schiit Valhalla comes into range.
    I have always fancied a piece of Schiit.

    An OTL headphone amp? Is it a good idea.
    Maybe I should speak to Mr Fitkrebottle and see if he can make me one with a massive power supply. As apparently they make all the difference.

    I've been using the Schiit Vali with a pair of Sennheiser hd600s for a couple of years. I suspect I would have to spend a great deal more for something better sounding. Sounds especially good with the Mani phonostage, but also great through a CD player.

    Really like it...

    Of course it's rather more than just a headphone amp - it runs max2play on the Pi so it's a Vortexbox client too, i.e. everything is served to it. I use RPi 3s, using the inbuilt WiFi and it works very well... use Orange Squeeze on my phone to control it.
    The whole plan hinged on the natural curiosity of potatoes...
