@tomchr , I'm enjoying your HPA-10 since some time ago. So much clarity, it made me promptly retire the SMSL SP400 I thought was my end game amp, sure it had more power but I didn't really need it. Not to ding the SP400 as it was very good still. I realize the measurements don't really show it but to my ears the HPA-10 is yet cleaner in the mid-high frequencies, perhaps this has something to do with driving real vs. dummy loads. This wasn't a proper blind test, so it's possible some bias creeped in...
Couple of questions:
1. There is a rather loud but short pop in the headphones when it's powered off using the power switch, is this normal/safe?
2. Is the HPA-1 design similar topology but balanced inputs and more power or is there more to it?
