Any ideas how these would compare to the C2600 or C50 with the LCD-X?
The Mjolnir 2 tubes are in the chain for both the headphone amp and preamp sections (per Grover N @ Schiit Audio). As indicated by PHC1, the Mjolnir2 has plenty of power. Enough to run just about anything from the balanced outputs. My hungriest headphones are HiFiMan HE6se, which require 2 watts minimum. No problem.
