    Hola Yaguiz. Lamentablemente sólo poseo capacidad del idioma español…
    Mi consulta es, tengo actualmente el smsl su-8s y estoy alimentando mis sennheiser hd 660s temporalmente con el amplificador portátil Fiio A5 mientras busco un amplificador de escritorio. Independiente el gasto de dinero; que me aconsejaría entre estas dos opciones como emparejamiento, el sh8s o sh9?
    Saludos.

    El SH-8S debería ser más que suficiente para sus necesidades. No hay necesidad de gastar más.

    ¡Mis mejores deseos!
