Reply to comment by Lelouch25 in My JDS Atom amp on high gain sounds MUCH wider with Planar headphones? by Lelouch25
Saw your edit - don’t bother chasing power specs. The Magni+ will be a side grade for the money (and you’ll still need to stick with the Zen DAC to feed it), so I’d focus on going up the headphone chain since the Zen DAC should be enough for most upgrades.
If you can go and listen to a THX amp before buying, they seem to be in the same polarising camp like Topping where they measure extremely well but can sound worse than cheaper still good measuring but less focused on chasing analyser SINAD amps to some ears. Never heard any so can’t say if it’s as bad as some say.

Thanks 🙏 for the info. Going to stick to this combo for now. There’s some posts about planars sounding better with THX amps and that got me checking out the cheaper THX amp. Haha

The new shiit amp is better than the thx amp in every way almost.
