Adcom GFA- 555 II
(with speaker taps and Schiit Sys for volume control)
For me, it is the iFi Pro iCAN. A perfect partnership made in music heaven!

Burson Soloist 3XP
Violectric HPA-V281 mostly, the best pairing of amps I own. The Adcom GFA555II @XyleFBB mentions works decently (tho not desk friendly, lol). The stunner to me was how well my Cayin HA-1Amk2 tube amp drives it. Wow! I knew that amp was a brute but I was shocked it handled the HE6 so well.
To my ear Asgard 3 and Monolith Liquid Platinum, 2 amps I have very high opinions of, had noticeable dips in the FR with HE6 and lacked treble control, making them sharp and sibilant.

burson soloist 3x in high gain bypass mode and parasound a21+
How did you place the nuggets?
did u mod the sa 1 amp to unlesh it?
I haven’t yet, but I’m sure I will try it eventually.
I will simply put two at the top fairly close together.
thanks for all the replies I’m thinking SA1 or one of the flux amps atm
Honestly I’m undecided what I wanna do also… I was wondering has anyone tried the V2 with Schiit Ragnarok 2?
It seems like if you add the EmailPrice=T param to the adorama URL, it shows the sale price but if I just search for the item I get the full price. It let me check out with the sale price. Does anyone know if they will honor it? Or if the shipping time will be long?
i remember m0n saying it wasn’t a very impressive amp especially for the money when i asked him about it and i’d trust him.
@CTOXmas what amp(s) do you have right now?
they will definitely honor it

then you are in for a treat. lots of people get the grills at some point and i’d recommend them but pads. oh my god pads make these headphones really something special. for whatever reason people don’t like cannibalizing the pad rings out of the stock pads but you can also buy them directly from hifiman for $10 and then start pad rolling. i personally hate the stock pads, they just aren’t comfortable at all for me personally and don’t have enough bass or stage size.
that sounds enticing to me, I have a set of LCD-2s so I’m used to big cushy pads. Do you have any recommendations?
mainly using 789 and a ifi zen can
