Best headphone amp combination for ipod

[Mattyc24]

I'm currently thinking about purchasing a headphone amp and new headphones for my ipod classic.

I could do with some guidance as to what the best combination would be.

Cheers

I use a Graham Slee Voyager amp connected to an iPhone 3G with a SendStation pocket dock and a Nordost cable with Neutrix plugs. I use Sleek SA6 or Senn HD555 'phones. Voyager amp is very good. Have a look on the Head-Fi forums for more ideas (Hifi Headphones is a sponsor I think).

Yes, I agree the Graham Slee Voyager is a safe bet. The aesthetics often come under criticism, but I guess that's a matter of taste. You really can't fault the sound quality - no doubt due to the perfectionist design and QA process by the guys at Graham Slee.

You may have seen we're now listing the iBasso range of headphone amplifiers. These portable amps are really interesting. Not only do they look the part, but I would say sound quality with the higher end models is rivalling the Voyager. The iBasso D2 has the added benefit that it has a built-in USB DAC for listening via computer.

I'm using the iBasso D2 Boa, linked to iPod Classic with Russ Andrews GQ-Mini Cu 0.5m Mini to Mini Interconnect GQ-Mini Cu interconnect : Find out lots more information on the G... - amp is 12 hours into burning in, very pleased with sound - will post review of amp later
