Massdrop THX AAA One Linear
This is a straightforward amp that’s useful when you want clean power without turning the amp into the story. I like gear like this because it helps me stay honest about what I’m hearing from the headphone itself.
You'll be taken to Drop to complete your purchase.
Pros
- +Clean, controlled amplification for comparisons
- +Supports a more repeatable review chain
Cons
- -Not for people chasing a colored or “tubey” presentation
