I wonder if Expanse 2.0 on the Bartok could pre-compensate for any analog non-linearity in the Amp section

I replied:

@Ermos

Thankfully, my present headamp is quite linear

I did not even mention what headamp. Anup identified it later.

I was speaking in general about linear headamps, and I am not trying to prove mine is the best. It is not, and you already know I am looking for another.

I see the Trafomatic Primavera! I am saving for one [Trafomatica-Audio-Primavera]

@Ermos

It greatly depends on what headphones you are going to use to give an advice.

This is my reply to the OP, and refers to what type of headphones he wants to use on the headamp he is looking for: electrostats, dynamic, planar magnetic, IEM etc.

@PaleRider

Your claim—that the most linear amp is the best for all headphones, which is actually the claim of your previous post—is simply not credible.

I never said that. This is your interpretation of it.

Of course linearity is not the only quality of a headamp.
