Srajan, will you review the Orchard Audio Valencia amplifier? You have covered a lot of headphone amps of late and this one is getting good buzz. I'd like your take on it. Thanks, Jeff
I've looked at it. It combines an SMPS with 24 opamps in a half-empty chassis for which it seems rather expensive. And of course it's a pure amp so needs a preamp or variable source with preferably analog volume; and is purely balanced. It's uniquely positioned but I'm not inclined to pursue it. I also wouldn't have speakers happy with just 8 watts so couldn't test that half of the equation. Srajan
