Does that headphone amp have a crossfeed switch? Also, how is the knob feel with that? I don't think I have ever used one with a round knob.

Yes! The X feed is easily the best implementation I’ve heard. There’s a thread on head fi about it I think. The process is pretty interesting if you’re into that kind of thing.

Putting the knob feel into technical terms: it fucks… holo uses a high end version of an alps pot and its smoother than butter haha. Also, Pushes 3W to 50ohms with very low distortion, so it’s no slouch in terms of power.

After owning this amp for what feels like forever, the only thing that makes no sense to me is the output impedance switch… it is either .01 ohm or 100ohm. Can’t think of a reason you’d ever want a 100ohm output impedance. If anyone has theories, I’m all ears.

I have crossfeed in my amp as well. It is super useful for older songs so I don't have to have such hard-pan with different things. It is nice to see it in more amps. My knob feel isn't as good as yours since mine isn't just a knob for turning but also for selecting.
