Headphones are having a real hi-fi moment, and in 2025, the biggest leap we’ve seen isn’t just new cans… it’s the explosion of headphone amplifiers and DAC/amps that help you get everything out of your investment. In this video, Scotty G and Nathan break down why proper headphone amplification matters once you’re buying real-deal headphones — whether that’s $500, $2,000, or beyond.

We cover: • Why headphone amps became one of the most exciting categories of 2025 • The difference between a simple, clean solution vs. feature-packed sound shaping • Our impressions and why certain pieces feel like long-term buys • What we’re hearing about new brands and what we want to review next Gear discussed (2025 highlights) • Rotel DX-3 - an “outstanding” headphone amp/DAC solution we’ve already reviewed • iFi Valkyrie - feature-rich, portable-ish power for demanding headphones • Luxsin X9 - new-to-us option getting serious interest as a headphone amp solution If you’re building a desktop headphone system, upgrading from entry-level listening, or trying to find the best DAC/amp for your headphones in 2025, this video is for you.
