Does such a thing exist on the market?

I need an AKM DAC chip (or an R2R DAC), class A amp operation, and enough juice to drive the Hifiman HE6...

Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

I have the HE6se, and the Topping DX9 has enough power, but class A amplifiers is narrowing it down so much along with the chipset. Short of using the HE-Adapter, the DX9 will do everything, but I'd just throw as much power at it if you plan on equalizing them with a preamp reduction. I put together a Topping A70Pro D70 Octo and it drove the He6se very loud at -17db, so there was still headroom to equalize. Also the E70 Velvet did a good job with it as well. I have the SMSL DO400 and it will power them fine, but not much room to equalize. I'd go for a stack so all options are open for power and if you have to have AKM, tons to pick from then. Very few all in ones with enough juice for those.
