Monoprice currently has the Monolith Liquid Spark and Liquid Platinum headphone amps on sale.

Liquid Spark [monoprice.com] (use code: LIQUID20)


Liquid Platinum [monoprice.com] (use code: LIQUID50)

Both headphone amps are highly reviewed at their price points. I've owned a Liquid Spark, and I think it compares closely to the other top ~$100 amps. For my money, I prefer the Magni 3 Heresy, but the Liquid Spark may be a better choice at $20 cheaper before tax and shipping. I find the Spark to be smoother and warmer than the Magnis, though the #s say it's a smidge less clean than the Magnis. If you're unsure/undecided, I don't think you can go wrong with either choice.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

You may think I'm Fulla Schitt, but I'd take that over the Liquid Spark anyday.
uh yeah no kidding LMAO

i too would buy an item with an $800 MSRP for $80 LMAO
My opinion is put your money into headphones first. That will have the largest impact on sound. The Z has a capable headphone amp, but if it can't power your new headphones you can look for an amp that matches the headphones well.

I love my Liquid Platinum but swapped tubes with Amperex Orange Globes. That did a "WOW" effect in my setup.

Fyi, the Spark is considered a top 3 budget amp. Was considering it but went with JDS Atom.

Is there a decent headphone pre tube amp that goes for $50-100, that I can connect to an amp like the atom?
Or am I better off getting some sort of dsp?

On Amazon search for Aiyima audio 6j1 or loxjie p20, see if those have the futures you are looking for. I personally don't have experience with tube amps.

I've enjoyed the sound quality of the Fiio Q1 for the last couple years. Another good option at this price point if you want a DAC/amp combo.
