It also sounds like the Bryston BHA-1 headphone amplifier is a perfect fit as well. Appreciate the concise report. I enjoyed reading it.
Yeah, it was a great review, wasn't it? Reminds me of your reviews, Dan!

Yep, I use a Schiit Valhalla 2 OTL headphone amp for my Senn HD600s. Love it. Rolled some Soviet and Amperexes into it over the stock tubes. I run it as a bedroom office system with a Schiit Modi 2 Uber and Schiit Eitr as sources. It will also serve as a preamp if I wanted to connect it to an amp for speakers.

It's a DSD album in my collection. However, I just found it as a Redbook CD on Amazon; I just ordered two copies, one for you and one for me. They were only 8 bucks. I'll send it to you when I get it.

My occasional write ups are more impressions than reviews and can't hold a candle to Dan's extensive and in depth reviews.

Beautiful album. I'm just getting into that post dinner relaxed state and it is now playing through Gumby/Bryston/Focal combo. I am switching over to Focal Elear to give them a thorough listen this evening after this album. As of right now, it sound so beautiful I don't want to change a thing! Total bliss.

Forgot all about that one Stephen and my wife loves Ludovico. By the way, she is not an audiophile (surprise! ) but she loved the combo.
