Title: Would a Seductor be quiet enough for Hifiman Phones
Post by: Todd R on April 27, 2015, 03:00:09 PM

Hi Doc,
I was wondering if this amp is quite enough to run Hifiman planar headphones? I would be using the Chord Hugo for a DAC/Pre-amp.
It would also serve as an amp for my Paradigm Atom desktop speakers.

Since we design amps specifically for headphones, we haven't necessarily tested all of our speaker amps with every headphone. The Seductor is probably quiet enough. But the S.E.X. amp is made for exactly what you are wanting to use - power hungry headphones and near field speakers.

Thanks Doc,
I've built several SEX amps. I was thinking about trying something different.
