Nice, I almost got that amp but went a different direction and now have the Sabaj h20a.

there are hardly any reviews about a20h but it seems to be a good amp which seems to be trending here at ASR.
What makes this amp this popular?

What makes this amp this popular?

For me the resistor/relay volume control is one of the selling points. It's very precise and comes with a remote control.

Sennheiser 660s (Balanced) through Topping DX7s

AKG K872 - apparently the last design from the Austrian AKG team before they were sold to harman! I've found them really great for a 2nd reference, and great for catching tiny issues during denoising/restoration of audio Driven straight from a Prism Sound interface, no need for an external amp.

64 Audio U12t > Ifi IEMatch+ > Questyle M12

IEMs work better for my listening habits and align more closely with what I consider to be comfortable than full-sized headphones.

I would say about right but not had enough listening time with a couple of them to do a proper personal ranking, pretty much enjoy them all

I went this route, from AKG 240 MKII - AKG K7XX - K702 - DT990 PRO - DT880 PRO to DT990 600 Ohm. Now considering an upgrade.

 

[student of history]

I have lots, but only a few are worth mentioning.

The best/favorites (IMHO):
AKG K371 (Holy smokes! These rock!)
Apple ADDIEM (loved 'em when I got 'em, still love 'em. I baby them now since the insulation is coming off)
EarFun Free Pro 2 (first pair problematic, 2nd pair OK. My daily walking phones)

Others that I like:
Sony MDR-V6 (my originals from the 1980s, still going strong. Fantastic experience for 4 decades. Almost no other purchase compares.)
Sony XBA-1 (I use these all the time)
Philips SHP9500 (I need to try these more. So far, inoffensive but nothing like the K371)
Klipsch X-10i
Sony MDR-EX500 (the insulation has frayed off, but they still sound awesome)

Older ones worth mentioning:
Sennheiser PX100 (stilll going strong, but I just don't listen to them anymore)
Sony MDRXB50AP (very bland, nothing offensive)
Sony MDR-EX300 (not bad)
Etymotic Research ER6i (sounded OK, but terrible build quality in my experience)

Since I have a penchant for climbing out of rabbit-holes I'm currently taking advantage of a house move, and everything going into storage for a while, to see what it's like to reduce down to just ER4XR's plugged into the laptop headphone jack. So far so good, and I might actually sell the Teaks and the Element II when I get them back.

The ER4's sound good enough to me and solve a bunch of other issues I had with headphones, mainly to do with isolation (the Teaks have less than none) and comfort, especially with regard to using with glasses. They are deep insertion, but with the triple flange tips this is much easier than whatever conniptions the U12t's required.

Running with an oratory1990 EQ in Equalizer APO.

This experiment has concluded with the unsurprising result that I'm keeping the Teaks and the Element 2 to drive them as daily use headphones.

I'm also keeping the ER4XR's for extreme noise isolation and I've added some Porta Pros for fun and summer heat issues. I've also got Airpod Pros for wireless convenience (a great way to stream audio from Apple TV I've discovered, while I wait for the backordered speakers to come in) and the Cooler Master MH571 mainly for voice comms.

The conclusion is, annoyingly, there is no singular solution and if you want the good sounds you need some bits and pieces. I've ditched EQ for simplicity.

... I've ditched EQ for simplicity.

With headphones I entirely agree. I like the ability to customize my sound. Admittedly it will be based on components that get good, rational reviews.

With my main rig, I did get setup help from Dirac, but I didn't entirely implement it all.
