F6 is great. It's high input impedance (100k) makes it well suited for passive volume control.

I ordered a Tortuga LDR 3.2 v2 for it. It is pretty pricey, but I'm rich stupid. They have a 30-day risk-free trial, too.
Hasn't shipped, yet.

Alternatively, you can use a quality passive stepped attenuator (GoldPoint SA1, Axiom II w/ walker mod, Khozmo).

Oh well then its not that expensive. I was worried I would need to spend equal amount of the F6 into a preamp or something...

Question for the hifiman nuts here, what would you recommend out of a modded HE560 vs. HE6 from a "headphone" amp, say like the Mjolnir2?`
