I'm also using it to drive HiFiMan HE-500s (together with a Schitt Bifrost - not yet upgraded). I haven't rolled the tubes. I'm really pleased with the build quality and I think the sound is fantastic - but I attribute that to the whole headphone system I've put together (phones/amp/dac) since I really didn't have an opportunity to test individual pieces against other pieces. All that being said, I still greatly prefer my main system / loudspeakers since I'm not a huge fan of headphones in the first place.
