a set up suggestion please

[chubbs1981]

ok. i have a set of senn hd465, as that was what i could afford at the time. atm i'm running a CA 340A old version bought 05. i'm looking for a decent head phone amp to run them for listening to planet rock and my music collection which is mainly rock, although some blues classical and even the odd bit of rave.

also i'm thinking of a amp to run out of a dvd player/ av reciever when i buy one. this would require 2 sockets (so she can listen to the movie too or i'll get moaned at) my senn will become "hers" and i'm looking at getting some hd650's or 600's. mainly for hifi but secondlyfor av. (shoddy sound proofing in shared house)

option 1. 2 seperate amps one for dvd/av with two sockets and 1 single for my music.

option 2. 1 ampwith dual sockets and some sort of switch box to allow it to be plugged into dvd/av and hifi without swapping cables in the false wall every time i want to watch a movie.


total budget looking at about 150 ish maybe 200 for something worth it. hifi is priority movies can wait if the cost determines it that way.

i've looked at project headbox the two socket version.


any help will be greatly appreciated.

beresford or zero dac/amps are around your budget.
have a look on headfi.org.
loads of reviews/ opinions. i bought a zero after reading on there.
dont be afraid to import the chinese gear, fantastic value.
