    +1 for the Sennheiser HD650 here, Bushmaster has no problem driving them, and they sound superb.

    I've a pair of excellent oldie-but-goldie Sony MDR CD1700 'phones. £200 over 10 years ago, and highly rated in the hifi mags then. They are 32 Ohms, I think.



    With the Bushmaster DAC they are the best I have ever heard them I find my Stax electrostatic headphones are gathering dust now!

    Very good headphones those Jerry


    Some people have no idea what they're doing and a lot of them are really good at it.

    Plugged into the BM, both my Superlux HD668B and Audio Technica ATH M50 sound very very good.

    Bits & Bytes are crunched by Vox (with the crossfeed turned on - Chu Moy/Jan Meier) on the Mac Book Pro. You won't go wrong with these..

    Default Grado sr80

    My Grado sr80 headphone works very well with the Bushmaster. As a matter of fact it's the best headphone amplification I've heard so far.
    The volume button of the Bushmaster is very sensitive though : I can only turn it to 8 o'clock (about one eighth of the turn) - after that I run into an unbearable volume level.

    I'm not a big headphone user but my Superlux HD668Bs sound superb through the BM.

    I am amending the volume level and changing the log scale of the volume pot travel in order to address that low level gain.

    Beyerdynamic DT880 and Denon AH-D2000.

    I have to say I can't hear much difference in the performance of the headphone amp in the Bushmaster to a dedicated Heed Canamp which cost more than twice as much - I may actually sell the Canamp second-hand to pay for the Bushmaster!.

    Default Audeze and Denon

    The audeze lcd2's are driven with ease and sound is superb. Alive. The Denon ahd2000's are no slouches and sound great too.

    I ran a pair of 650s with the BM....thought the combo sounded very good indeed...The 650s need loads of hours on them (maybe 200 or more to really settle down) remove the internal foam insert and the so called darkness is history.
    gave my dac/head amp combo a good run for its money!!!!
