Show me what you've got.....I should receive my 6xx's soon and looking to set-up a headphone/chill out room.
Not sure what source I'm going to use yet, probably my Auralic Aries Mini.
I'm a valve guy(AN Oto SE Sig/ Lampizator 4.5) but open to other offerings too.
Thanks

I have a SOHA II headphone amp (not DAC). It’s a valve hybrid and sounds superb. See my AoS review here: http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?14973-SOHA-II-headphone-amplifier-it-works!

That review has photos (although I’ve changed the knob and sockets since then).

The little dot mk3/4/4se are lovely with the hd6xx (or hd58x for that matter!). Upgrade the tubes and you're on to a winner. It just so happens I've done a bulk order of nice Russian gold pin tubes recently on a flash Friday deal (or whatever it's called) to save on postage. Am hoping to find some fellow users to share them with.

You should look to the graham slee solo (if you can with the psu)
Not the ulde that is too mellow and hd650 is warm already by its own

I've missed on the opportunity to buy a Little Dot here a while ago and regretted it ever since.
Sure, I'll keep that in mind :)

Will look into it, thanks for the recommendation.

It really is stunning. I can’t believe it never sold but I ended up happy about that as I started using it again. I’d like to keep it as I do have a use for it again but I also quite need the cash after buying a house last month.

If all else fails, I have a Caiman SEG.
