Schiit Audio has just released a new affodable, hi-performance headphone amplifier product - the Vali.  The Vali handles headphones from 32 to 600 ohms and uses 6088 sub-miniature tubes, which are in triode configuration and run on a 60V regulared power rail.  There is also a regulated 1.2V DC heater to imporve the noise lfoor and ensure long life and stable operation.  

 

The Vali’s tubes are coupled to a solid Class AB output stage with a 650mW per channel into 32 ohms capability that makes the Vali able to drive a wire-array of headphones including orthodynamic types.
