Recommend a headphone amp for me?

[Rhbmcse]

Hi all,
I'd appreciate your input on this. I'm looking to purchase a set of headphones, wired, as yet undecided and need an amp in order to do so.

Use case is listening to vinyl on a rega planar p1+ via a sonos port. I'll be taking either rca outs or digital out from the port to feed the amp.

I appreciate this isn't an audiophile setup by a long stretch. Id still like to get something decent sounding enough though. My music is important to me or clearly, I wouldn't be here!

What would be your recommendation please? Obviously there's no point in spending a fortune for the setup I have.

Ideally some kind of remote volume control would be advantageous as the port out has to be set to fixed or I'm led to believe that the quality suffers considerably.

Also whether rca or digital out would be better would be useful advice from those with better knowledge than myself.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Rob.

You asked a similar question 8 months ago Rob.
I answered you, but don't know whether you read my reply or not 🤔

Anyway, maybe you're not limiting yourself to valve amps anymore.
Either way, for others to make some suggestions, perhaps you can say how much you want to spend - as prices vary considerably (with more expensive not necessarily meaning better).

Hi Gray,
Well spotted, indeed I did, and read your response thank you. I'm revisiting that exact question again, Christmas out of the way and all but yes, without the restriction of valves being in the equation. Based on your previous answer I'd love to now hear your recommendations as clearly, this particular itch has not been scratched yet, and needs to be!

Thanks again.

Rob.

Sorry, in respect of price, ideally up to the £400 bracket, maybe more if the difference is audible, given my meagre setup.
