Projecting my own ~$600 other people's money - wants here, thanks;) but it is a unique amp at the price range you are looking at; The La Figaro; https://www.massdrop.com/buy/la-figaro-339-tube-headphone-amplifier, on my list for an OTL.
Your post made me go look for a used one on eBay...:) then today it dropped here, coincidental... Would be a bit of an odd-fellows thing feeding it a Red Dragonfly, but hey make it your own, until you decide to upgrade the DAC. You will be blowing some more $ on upgrading tubes, but you can do that later, now you would have something unique and fun. It is not optimum for low impedance, but it still will push them just fine., your HD6XX's will simply elope.
Otherwise in SS amp/DAC world the TEAC 501 that was recently up on MD; https://www.massdrop.com/buy/teac-ud-501-dual-monaural-dac-amp would be a nice upgrade, and the Dragonfly remains your portable. On Amazon for a good price still; https://www.amazon.com/Teac-Monaural-Converter-Streaming-UD-501-B/dp/B00BC1ULTQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1519576653&sr=8-1&keywords=teac++501
Yes, the TEAC has them,I'm a MUSES fan: https://www.njr.com/MUSES/index.html
Love this post, funny, but there is truth in the musings... what happens in some semiconductor fabs, is like Vegas... it stays in the fab...
NJR is boutique, yes, better does cost more... "Originally Posted by jcdrisc JRC has chosen to wrap the die of each chip in a very rare silk thread only made in a small farm in Hokkaido. This accounts for their astounding sonic signature and increase in fiscal depletion of truly dedicated audiophools using them. a japanese friend of mine said than : "The silk thread is made by 30 years old Virgin Muses whom only eat Kobe beef, then are blessed in Greece after a Master in Harp playing for a better mature product! Education costs a lot ! Some even say than the oaps are brushed with beers while leads are sharpened by Fugu cooker Masters ! But mostly: due to a crisis to find ethiopian eunuchs for the quality control with the virgins production benchs, the prices as the panties have been soaring" I believe him as he stoped to drink sake !
