I'm new here, experiences required

My account just got authorised, thanks John.

I have finally settled on my headphone stable after much shuffling, selling and switching. I am now curious about upgrading my amplification and these amps look to be right up my street.

A bit about my set up,

I am currently trying to decide whether to go for the SRGII with Wallwart or the Ultra Linear Diamond. The reason for my inability to decide stems from the always on requirement. I work from home in a converted loft/attic depending on your geographic location.

I listen to music all of my working day and love switching between my headphones as the music or my general feeling dictates. So far, I am very happy with the Mojo but I am confident that using that as a DAC to feed the Slee would take my enjoyment to another level.

I normally power everything up there off on an evening. As much as anything from paranoia than anything realistically ever happening. I would be happy to leave the Amp left on the power if it makes that much of a difference. But hypothetically, let's say that I cannot override my need to power it all off on a night. Would the SRG and wall wart be a better fit for my needs or would the Ultra Diamond still be the best option?

The price difference is not a driving factor for me.

Any thoughts, opinions and discussion welcomed.

I look forward to getting to know some of you on here.

I was leaning towards the ULDE but I was struggling with the power on dilemma. As mentioned by PM I had no idea that the loaner could be available so soon, I cannot wait to try it with and without my Mojo in front of it.

Yes, you are right, I have my work PC and my recording Mac in my loft. I use the Mac via USB in to the Mojo currently and control Audirvana via the Audirvana remote app rather than switching monitor source all day.

Are you suggesting that the bitzie would replace the Mojo in my chain as DAC or would the headphone amp part of it be enough to not also need the ULDE? I'm assuming the former but clarification would be great.

For now, I think I will just try the ULDE via the Loaner please.  Assuming that does what I am hoping I would buy one of those and once used to it I would look at other options for the DAC side of things.

My Xiaomi A1 also has a reasonable headphone out and so am interested in trying that as the source for the ULDE too. The Mojo has done me proud but I rarely use it portably and so would prefer to have something mains powered.

Thanks again for your speedy replies both on this thread and PM's.
