What piece of hardware is this and what tubes? I currently have the HD 600s and I’m about to buy the Focal Clear OG also.

This is the little dot mk2
There is much newer versions by now and i tried to get my hand on a Shiit Heresy, but the price spikes and non-availability (especially here in Europe) made me steer away. I am still very happy with the amplifier and will continue using it

Would you just go with the Hersey? Strictly speaking for quality/performance

I have the Schiit Modi 3 DAC in front of the little dot and i would most definitely get the hereesy if I could get it for a fair price. Its also much less of a hassle. But i still love the tube vibes. I am not a believer in snake oil and i quite honestly dont hear a difference with the tube amp. I just like it visually.

There was onl one thing that scared me away from Schiit amplifiers. I read i some reviews that some Heresy amps suddenly got really loud for a moment and destroyed peoples headphones. There was also lots of those people saying that Schiit didnt pay their damaged headphones You might wanna investigate that before going with their amps. I wouldnt wanna destroy expensive headphones.
