There is a Nelson Pass "Zen" single-ended class-A MOSFET design that works well with headphones. ONE gain stage supported by constant-current sourcing. Rather tube-like sound but with no output transformer and cable of driving low-impedance 'phones. I built the one pictured and use it with my Audeze LCD-2 planars, which are fairly power hungry.
