atleast it tells you that its ON, some amps don't bother. The blue LED light gets annoying sometimes but. they won't turn your room into a sauna or melt everything around it. It is sturdy and made of metal/aluminum and that makes sense because these things get hot. This restriction is why hybrids were made perhaps. CONCERN #1: these are for high ohm headphones. so I think its time to bring up the first concern.

BUT any high ohm headphone should be great with these. Andddddd the answer in my opinion is HD600s & HD650s. WHAT IS THE BEST HEADPHONE TO USE WITH THESE HEADPHONES? Anyhow, the link to best seller with a lot of sale, promotions, FAST shipping (got mine in 5 days) & most important of all no need for concerns noted below because units are all tested: (they are also on aliexpress)ĪLSO contact them on their sales and they are flexible with prices and will help you get the best market price ! But forget the price. BUT do check out the 'concern' section to see where you should buy it to avoid all those concerns. That is totally fine because that itself is enough for people to buy this. Okay, many of you probably stopped at the 'ability to change sound signature' and is ready to buy it. Call me crazy but tubes cost a lot less than headphones! Which is physically buying a new tube and changing it (not hard. BUT with these tube amp, something called 'tube rolling' makes changing sound signature possible. BUT to do that we end up spending a lot on different types of headphones. Besides the fact that this thing just sounds incredible.įor many people, it is important and fun to change the signature of what they are hearing. Okay, so every audiophile or audio enthusiast I've met wants one of these and there is certainly a reason for it. However, I do strongly recommend the Darkvoice. The Bottlehead Crack seem to be a good next move. I am also a tweaker and at times find myself using the music to listen to the equipment and not vice versa.

I would like to get in touch with a manual, but such an animal does not seem to exist. It is a shame that the manufacturer has not produced a website. Looking at it you just expect good things. The 336 does not fall into that category. While I prefer the tube sound, the small, little bitty amps with tubes sticking out do no create and expectation of good sound.

To that end, I have found the Darkvoice 336se to be by far the best of the four headphone amps that I have owned thus far. Today I find that in many way headphones are a more intimate and rewarding experience than speakers.

My idea of headphones came from the 60s when all the sound imaged in the center of your head. I have been an audiophile for about fifty years, but have only been into headphones for maybe two years.
