Those Bravo headphone amps are supposed to sound pretty good from what I've read about them... tube preamp stage with a class A power amp to drive the cansDecided to go in another direction:
Bravo Audio V2, with the upgraded Gold Lion tube. (I guess I'm a sucker for the cheap but highly rated Chinese components... although come to think of it, my Line Magnetic amp isn't cheap.)
The plan is to use the Bravo almost exclusively with Spotify and CCA. My cans are OK, but by no means high-end: Sennheiser HD 558 and Audio-Technica ATH-M50X. I'm thinking with 320 kbps and mid-range headphones, maybe the CCA's DAC will be sufficient. Anyhow, I can try it with the el cheapo -- but really decent -- SMSL Sanskrit 6 DAC DAC once the tube has had a chance to blossom.
Looking forward to your review!
