I was wondering what you all consider the best USA/european made alternatives to the Chinese-made headphone amps like topping. They measure and sound good, but I’ve now gone through two different topping amps that just stopped working… I want something that is going to last more than a year or two.
Alternatives to Topping

Depends on what you're looking for. But if you mean good measuring, well regarded brands on an entry-level budget, the obvious go-tos are Geshelli Labs, Schiit Audio, and JDS Labs.
Thanks, I’ll check those out!
Keep in mind that your headphone collection will also dictate which amp will work best for you.

Yeah, I think I am covered as far as high-end stuff goes though. Just looking at cheaper (but reliable) options right now.
