The Objective2 isn't good enough?
Have you tried sticking your head up Kevin Gilmore's bum? Seems to make SS sound a lot better for some people.
I would prefer a regular CMOY but a high voltage (30-36 rail-to-rail) power supply. Just as low output Z, less stages than O2. A much simplier design for the task since IEMs don't need much power.
Something without grain throughout the response range, no treble glare, harshness or digital bite out of every damned phone you plug into it regardless of source. That would be a nice start. That's 'typical' solid state coloration IME and I don't like it. Most SS that tries to mitigate that seem to be more dark or colored to compensate thus hindering top end extension. We can work on resolving power later once that gets dealt with. Currently I'm on a quest to hear the best SS I can find at every meet to make sure I give SS every consideration possible that I might hear something equal to or better than the best tube setups I've heard.
