My apologies if this question has been asked, but looking through the archives I didn't see it discussed.
I am looking for a single, dual-purpose headphone amp or separate headphone amps for home and portable headphone listening. I have gotten to the point in life when I need to walk more to keep my back from dissolving, so I am looking for something that will work with a portable cd player (Panasonic SL CT470). I will use it less frequently for airline travel and perhaps in the car (btw, what do people think about safety considerations of driving with headphones?) I currently have Grado SR125 headphones but find them a bit uncomfortable and am thinking about upgrading (more about this below).
For home listening I have a Musical Fidelity A220 integ. Amp sans headphone
plug. My choices right now come from Headroom. Either going with the Total
Airhead for portable listening and the Little for home auditioning or buying
the Supreme and using it for both -- perhaps later adding the Base station
as a separate power source. Any suggestions about these components or other that I haven't mentioned?
I am also thinking about up-grading my headphones to either Sennheiser 600
or the Etymonics. Recommendations on either of these or others to consider?
Thanks so much for any help you can give me
