What's the amp and how do you find it?

Its FIIO k9. Maybe it’s overkill. My $200 dac amp sounds the same to me. But it does have extra features.

You don't need to tell me about overkill! I went for the RME ADI 2 for my (original) HD800. For me it was just the perfect all-in-one solution. Quality is perfect, Dac/Amp all in a very small form factor. All the settings, functions and tweaking possibilities I could ever want, parametric EQ, crossfeed, you name it.

And when I one day have a speaker system, it can do a fine job with those too.

That, and it's gorgeous. Nothing more mesmerising than watching the frequency bands dance.

Can I get something 1/5th the price? Sure. But for me, this is perfect, and always will be.

Only thing I still want to audition is tubes...

Gah I feel this in my soul. Waiting on my Bifrost 2/64, then want the ADI 2, and maybe build the S.E.X. amp to complement my Crack. Ah well. My kids don't need college...

I may just keep my BTR7. I like to walk around the house with my headphones on.

and sell the k9 pro. Where can I sell it?

Ebay, r/avexchange, head-fi (forums).

These are the options I'm aware of. Good luck!

Easiest way in my experience has been r/AVexchange.
