#25 Monoprice Monolith THX AAA 788 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Audio Science Review measured a SINAD of 107 dB, so noise and distortion stay well below audibility in normal listening. A rated 3,120 mW into 32 ohms is enough for nearly any headphone, including hard to drive planars, with 580 mW into 300 ohms for high impedance models. It offers balanced outputs and USB, optical, coaxial, AES, XLR, RCA inputs.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used.
