Have not heard the RAAL amp, but I have no desire for anything "better" at this point...
If and when new headphone meet-ups start again, I would love to hear what I am "missing". (grin)

IMO, they are worthy of the best DAC you can afford. I had the optional Schiit multi-bit DAC card included with my Jot-R to make it an all-in-one unit, but the Ayre QB-9 and the Schiit Yggdrasil quickly took over conversion duties.

Vendors are offering package deals of (headphones + Jot-R - speaker adapter box) that are discounted from the full retail cost of buying the headphones/adapter box from RAAL and Jot-R from Schiit.

What is remarkable is the nearly universal praise that these "head speakers" get from reviewers. Whether the reviewer is labeled as "objectivist" or "subjectivist" doesn't matter -- they drool. Maybe it is just the honeymoon phase of the product...

Cerebrate!
