The Valhalla 3 Drives the Hifiman HE6seV2 to impressive performance.

The Val 3 is probably the best tube amp outside of the Kilobuck range, and even then includes tech that a lot of OTL amps are missing. Using the impedance multiplier to compensate for the low efficiency, I don’t even need the highest gain mode.

I’m using a Qudelix 5K as the DAC, outputting 2Vrms, no EQ. I’ve verified with the Midgard below that I’m not ‘missing’ any sound, and the Val 3 is pushing enough to satisfy the He6.
(Elear also pictured, sounds amazing on the Val 3 as well.)

The fit and finish are premium as well; a hefty unit with solid switches, and a wonderful volume knob. A pleasure to use, to look at, and to own.
