But the HD600 on the other hand sounds equally just as good on my DV 336SE (RCA and GE tube substitutes) and is right on par with the Crack with my.

I have been eyeing the Bottlehead Crack for a very long time.

I currently have a Schiit Magni 2, but I am looking for another fun upgrade (I am satisfied with my headphones by the way - HD 650s). I have a few questions who have sampled the Crack and comparable solid state amps to the Magni. Ideally, I want these answered in non-audiophile terms (meaning: I want people to be real about this, as the kit is a considerable investment - people lie about being able to hear big differences between DACs all the time, and I am wondering if the world of headphone amps is any different past a certain point). • Is the Crack undeniably 'better' than a Magni, or is it just different because of the tube sound?

Would any reasonable solid state outperform it? • Will it significantly change my listening experience with the HD 650, or is it a subtle change? • Is it truly worth the money, especially if the Speedball is included?
