Pono was the best SS headphone amp I ever heard

Mind you, I haven't heard everything, but as a headphone amp and DAC the Ayre designed output stage was phenomenal.

The only other headphone amp I liked as much was a $6K tube set up I can't remember the name of.

So my point is, if you like your music on the go, and you got to hear the Pono, what do you think sounds as good if not better?

Best,

I went with a Fiio. Much better UI, size and expandability.

But damn, the Pono's handling of headphones was something else.

Sadly neither the Codex nor Stax are good candidates for "music on the go"
