hklinker Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I love the sound of tubes and horns, and to enhance my private listening, I recently picked up some Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones. They sound wonderful, with a rich, full sound when played through my Macbook or iPad. But I cannot enjoy them with my current hi-fi setup as my Mac MX-110 Preamp has no headphone jack. So now I'm looking for suggestions. I've been reading a lot about the inexpensive, Class A tube headphone amps such as the Bravo Audio Ocean units. I don't want to spend more than $200.00 and want to be able to roll tubes to refine the sound. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Herb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perflenta Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I think LittleDot MKII will do well with your headphones. http://www.littledot.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=816&sid=66a68e4cca4fc901388f199e3804f785#p3182 Good luck!!! Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twk123 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Its actually a DAC with a tube buffer but I use this to play Digital Music on my KG 5.5's and it sounds amazing with my upgraded tube: http://www.amazon.com/Aune-T1-Generation-Amplifier-Decoder/dp/B00A2QJMRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
