ZDT推KK的效果还是有些疑虑,看HEAD-FI那边的听感。驱动KK还是需要在120欧输出阻抗的情况下,功率达到8W甚至更多,二房驱动的话,很难达到音乐传真A500A的那种动态犀利/低频下潜很好的爆棚效果了。

K1000
via 4-pin XLR: My K1000 (#1378 bess-heavy) sound fantastic off the Eddie Current ZDT - the best I have heard them sound to date. I was all ready to sell the K1000 if this amp didn't improve their sound to what I expected (and bring the K1000 closer to the level of my HD800), but it did it in spades.
The missing sparkle in the K1000 that I loved with Naamanf's B22 has now appeared, the vocals are more vivid and rich, macro and micro detail is noticeably improved, soundstage is more solid, and bass is as strong as before but now much better controlled. Plus they play as loud as I would like via the 4-pin XLR jack, when fed via RCA out of my PS Audio Digital Link III. So there is no advantage to using the stock K1000 speaker-terminal pigtail with them, and instead I can use ZDT speaker out for my Stax transformers (will try later this weekend). The PS Audio XLR out > Jensen transformers XLR-to-RCA converter > ZDT has slightly less volume at a given volume knob position, but the amp still has enough gain to drive them well.
None of my previous small 5-12 watt speaker amps can drive the K1000 as well as the ZDT (Travagans Red, Nuforce Icon, and Qinpu A-3), nor can my Single Power Square Wave XL balanced amp. The Sq Wave can play them loudly, but it cannot extract the same great sound from the K1000 like the ZDT, while Sq Wave XL is very nice with other normal headphones (like balanced HD600/800 or balanced/modded D2000).
My ZDT with a Sylvania gold pin 5751 and PS Audio Digital Link III DAC set for 192K up-sampling is fairly good with the K1000, and was better than all my previous attempts at amping them. But wiatrob's balanced EHHA was slightly better when I compared them side by side for 2 weeks last October. With GE black plate 5751 tube the K1000/ZDT was too dark. However, my SAC KH1000 amp is even better with my K1000 than both of those amps above.
HiFlight who sold me the SAC amp says the Red Wine Audio 30.2 amp is even better with K1000 than the SAC was. I've also heard the K1000 on Naamanf's Beta 22 amp, and my memory tells me that was also quite good as it was better than his O2 Mk1 on his Blue Hawaii amp. I just don't know how it would compare to the others.
Right now the K1000 are in my main rig with the ZDT, and the SAC amp is in my bedroom for the HE-5 and HD600, so that tells me the ZDT isn't so bad because I do use them with it. It's just not my first choice.
The ZDT is great with almost every headphone I have tried with it, but the K1000 have a special requirement, which is a speaker amp that drives 120 ohms well, or a headphone amp with gobs of power into 120 ohms. The ZDT is not bad with them, but it doesn't seem to bring out the K1000's best in terms of detail or bass. The EHHA and SAC(KH1000,也就是小刺猬) were brighter and crisper sounding with K1000, and bass impact improved with EHHA, and then got even better with SAC. HiFlight likes the RWA 30.2 amp with K1000 the most. So does mrarroyo.
