An Amp that’ll work for both Dynamic and Planar Magnetic Headphones (alien.top)

I was too indecisive this year and decided to buy both the HD 800S and LCD-X. I currently run a Magni 3 with Modi Multibit stack and feel like I should upgrade my stack. But I’ve heard that Planars and tube amps don’t mix.

Is there an Amp out there that’ll run both headphones to their maximum potential? Or would I need to have 2 separate amps?

Assuming you're looking for more or less transparent amps and no funky synergies, there's not much to consider.

Your Magni has enough power for both your headphones. If you want something that's potentially a bit nicer, then the new Midgard looks interesting.

No need to replace the DAC.
