Hello Guys
I am tossing up between the Project Head Box II or the Graham Slee Novo Headphone amp - it will be for my PC - mostly for gaming, but also some music listening. I only use Headphones so its for all PC sound
There is £120 difference in the price and the Headbox is rated to have much more power by the specs.
I have been listening to the Head box quite a bit - it makes a massive improvement over even a very good PC sound card output.
Its way more musical and it opens up the soundstage loads - however sometimes it sounds like it needs a bit more composure and control - but its still excelling in both of these areas compared to the output from the good souncard.
Will the Novo be £120 better?
The Novo is known as "a power house" froma few sites and yet is rated at lower power than the Head Box?
Headbox 330mW/30ohms, 60mW/300ohms
Novo Output: 150mW rms into 32 Ohms, 40mW rms into 600 Ohms
I will be using Sennheiser 558 Headphones with it - coming off a Auzentech Forte Souncard.
Has anyone gone from one to other or had a good listen / test.
I am most worried that I would spend the £120 more, it not be as powerful and also have an analytical sound which on PC based sound /music (not always the greatest quality) I dont think is a great thing.
Any help thoughts?
I ap[preciate it may seem overkill, but I love great sound
