Had an old SB-Z start being weird. Seems time to replace it (getting artifacts in audio when DX overlay is active).

Which of the above would be considered "best" for a headphone user. Nothing too heavy/crazy (though I might fancy some planar driven high ohm at some point).
 
Ty guys. Went with a replacement SBZ in the end.
The issue came about after some hot plugging/unplugging of headphones, was absolutely fine and no change in anything seconds before so... dunno.
G6 will likely be my go-to next time I have issues or when I see one cheap :)

I did mean GSX1000, yes. Glad I avoided if it was crap.
 
Yeah, it's fine. Lesson learned there.

SBZ is a _relatively_ cheap part (£30), bought the previous one second hand for pennies and had it a couple of years so it didn't owe me anything. Another of the same will do for now :D

Got the answer I wanted too. Seems the G6 would be a good option :)

Edit: lol I put a lowball offer in for a G6 on ebay too (review sample so almost new), been accepted so I'll be able to compare directly :D
