Monoprice's customer service is terrible. I'll never buy from them again. Maybe you'll have better luck.

If I wasn’t on a budget, I would go with this amp. I bought magni 3+ and modi combo instead for my HifiMan Sundara.

Nay.
HD 599 doesn't scale with amps. You don't even need one.
If you haven't already, you should replace pads with genuine ones for $28

So, what amp did you end up replacing it with? Just curious about what other amps are out there that are non-sterile and non-boring. Trying to find an amp to replace my HDVA 600 with.

Hmm, sounds like someone accidentally left the germs and fun pieces of your 789 when they were building it, shoulda exchanged it.

I had the 789 AMP a few years ago that is similar to this. Very sterile and boring. Good power, but just dry sounding. Couldn't get rid of it soon enough.

If you don’t understand why you need this, run now with all your money. This component needs lots of other expensive things (headphones, cables, etc.) to complete an “audiophile” setup. :)

Amps are needed for headphones and speakers that are rated higher than 32 Ohms. The resistance of these headphones are higher and need more power than is supplied by most sound cards.

No, but the 887 measures slightly better than the Drop.
Someone said that the 887 is "dated" or not as good as other amps at the price. What other Chinese amp at $250 pushes this much power this...
