Currently running an Emotiva A-100 with Fostex t60rp Argons. Anyone else have this setup and the Rebel Amp? Differences? Worth getting the Rebel? Thanks.
Rebel amp is not very powerful, I wouldnât recommend it for Argons.

I wouldnât say it is weak either. Zeos used T60rp specifically in his review and had no complains about power rather he said it is very good option for such headphones.
if it is worth to jump from emotiva that is question someone more experienced had to advise on.
Page says 1 watt @ 32 ohms⌠Itâs plenty for stock T60RPs, for Argons I donât know.
Just going to throw this in here in case it helps⌠These are Asgard 3 measurements here.
I have been using my Dekoni Blue T50RP for the past week and a half and I havenât gone above 12 oâclock on the dial (halfway) on high gain. If the Argons are harder to power, I could see the RebelAmp maybe not being quite enough power - or needing to nearly max the volume.

Am I wrong saying Class A power is ânot the sameâ ?
My 1 watt JDS Atom, with my T50RPs, is too loud at half volume⌠and itâs the same for my small 270mW class A amp.

From what Iâve read on these forums, I think that is an assumption you could almost surely make. Lots of class A power seems to be vastly different from other sources, but honestly idk for sure because I donât own them all to really test lol
I have the RebelAmp and T50 Argons (massdrop editions), and they are powered just fine.

T50s and by extension Argons, are by no means the power hogs theyâre made out to be. They will honestly work on a phone (my wife does this regularly).
Donât stress the power

Yeah I mean they are not very efficient, 92db vs 103db of the HD6xx.
Some IEM amps are probably not suitable, but the majority of good headphone amplifiers support them just fine.
I mean I still struggle to understand completly those numbers. Eikons are 98db and 300ohms and those sound pretty dope on rebel
For every 3 decibel sensitivity difference between the two headphones, you will have to double the amplifier power of the lower db rated headphone to have matching volume.
Between the T50 and Eikon, thats 4x the volume difference at the same wattage.
Though variance will occur with ohm rating for each headphone too.
Edit: Anyways a watt is plenty of power for any headphone really.

@NoName I liked it when I had it (sold it recently when I was cleaning out alot of my stuff), it was pleasant sounding. The rebelamp is a more spacious and energetic sounding amp, that is a bit forward almost w shape? (possibly more fun bright?), works well for most music. Itâs pretty punchy overall tbh. I wouldnât call it a natural amp but it is enjoyable for most things I plugged into it. I think itâs a good reasonable to other amps in the 500 buck price range although I donât really know if it anything to really impress me compared to those alternatives

I was hoping you give your thoughts on it when you have time,so thanks. I bought it to have something to compare with and I like it on most my current headphones. Love the color

Anyone have a matching dac? I would love for something the same size underneath.
Looking at the Schiit Yggdrasil but not sure I want to blow a fortune at the moment.
Try AUNE X8 Magic and put it on top.
âŚmy guess is it will toast.
It shouldnât. Zeos use it that way.
Just found in mail that itâs avaliable again. Iâm not much into buying a new stuff around now, but you never can tell 
Have to say I like the amp (and the color!) a lot, so it makes me wondering if anyone can tell or estimate how much of a change (for better I hope) would I get with my K712s which Iâm using with Aune X1s/X7s combo?
Iâm mostly listening to (any sorts of) progressive music - basicaly from 70âs which I love the most to progressive death metal of the recent years - and classical music. I like what I hear with these - the full sound with lots of details and space along with the enough low end and instruments separation.
Itâs just that from time to time it makes me thinking where I can get for better sound - valid for both the dac/amp and the headphones
