I'm a bit torn.
I'm thinking of getting either a Feliks Echo mkII again (had to sell mine a while back due to financial struggles) or an Aune s17 Pro.

Of course I'm open for more suggestions in those prize ranges.

Headphones atm are the Arya Stealth, Clear OG, DCA Aeon 2 Noire and HD650.
I have another amp for the Noire already so the new one dont have to be able to drive those.

Planning to get a pair of Grados next,

Any advice or tips?

The Aune runs pretty hot but sounds nice, not worth the price for me though. A Topping A30 Pro hits 105f but excellent power and totally silent noise floor even with 10ohm IEMs. The Sabaj A20h is the best value and runs cool, have one of them too. The Topping A70 Pro is kingpin with a 5 volt DAC like the SMSL DL200 if you just want unlimited balanced power.

I love my aune s17pro but I dont think it's power is necessary for your system. Frankly I think you wouldnt need more than a90d or another amp you could find for under 400. I'd only really recommend people the s17 who need the extra power.
