I am one of those fence sitters for the SR1A, but we'll see how that goes down the road. I want to head further down the Abyss AB-1266 Phi TC path for a while before thinking about the SR1A and maybe the Jotenheim R. You mentioned that the Jotenheim R is ~$3000 less than the nearest direct drive/no RAAL Interface Box amplifier, but I'm not sure what product that is not how the performance compares. Could you tell me the model and if you've heard anything about it? Hi Ben, later in the review I mentioned it. It’s easily missed, so no worries. “One last note about selecting an amp for the RAAL-requisite SR1a headphones. RAAL-requisite offers its own direct drive amp called the HSA-1b that sells for $3,900. I haven't heard this amp yet, but Audiophile Style contributor austinpop is scheduled to receive a review sample very soon. ” Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

If I say that I listen to headphones 50% of the time now, since purchasing the SR1a, and think the sound is fantastic, a little context never hurts. Moving from a Kenwood receiver to the SR1a 50% of the time means one thing. Moving from a Wilson/Constellation system that's dialed in and measures like mine, is a whole different thing. I know you get this, so my explanation is more for others who are just stopping by :~) Ben-M and Jud 1 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

I believe in the video Jason said the DAC is equivalent to a multi-but Modi - https://www.schiit.com/products/modi-1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

I read over it once again before posting, but I guess I didn't give it my all. I did go find some pictures, just FYI for anyone else wondering what $3,900 is going to look like from RAAL for a dedicated amp: I should also note, the HSA-1a is $3,900 and the HSA-1b is $4,500.
