In Reply to: Why no headphone reviews in S-phile? posted by Eldragon on May 8, 2015 at 08:10:10:
Draw your own conclusions.
Until recently, few high-end companies even bothered with headphone amps, and, for the most part, the few that are in are mainly mid-fi, at best, IMO.
No, the amplifier market is dominated by chinese and small builders, some closer to DIY. Practically none of these mfrs advertise in North America, or else don't want or need to. They have their own networks, through meets and head-fi, plus on-line publications and information.
I am glad Stereophile doesn't really cover head-fi and they have no economic incentive to do so, fortunately.
