I suppose I'm not as interested for the fact that some have said it is not really as good an amp if used in a SE mode. I really
don't "need" to run my HD 800 in Balanced mode , I have no interest in headphones that "are" actually power hungry ( or any other headphones for that matter ) & it is $3 or $400 more than the one amp that wasn't designed specifically around meeting whatever needs the HD 800 wants to see !
I not a big "fan" of the company that makes the Ragnarok (It may very well be the 1st "real" product this company has produced but,for myself it's "Too little, too late". They have been around how long before they released a product of this level ??? )
I'm sure I could probably think of more reasons, so I'll stop myself here !
Thanks for asking, though !
I'll be interested to what amp that you will end up with. I have soloist for more than a year, and I do have a hard time choosing an amp to replace it. I have local audio shop which I can audition and a/b with soloist to other amp from various brand. A few give me a nice impression which include a luxman and liquid glass. I hope you find what you looking for from an amp.
