Is this good for HD800s? Thinking of get a tube amp since recommended by many, also the port looks like TRS to me, which is not 4pin XLR shipped with HD800s. any recommended on the cable/convertor? Thanks,

soooTrue, this amp has a 6.5mm (1/4”) headphone jack instead of anything balanced, but your HD 800S included a 6.5mm cable as stock… maybe double check the box? Balanced can help prevent crosstalk and some noise, but more tubes and cost would be required for a balanced tube amp, and a well designed single-ended amp will not have high levels of those issues anyway. As a hybrid amplifier (of tube and solid state components), I believe this will support the sub bass in your HD 800S better than an OTL tube amp, though either OTL or hybrid should work well with higher impedance headphones such as the 300 Ω HD 800S.

My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.
