In case it helps anyone, below is a list of amps that appear to work well with the Hifiman Susvara. This list is derived from a mixture of personal experience, discussions with Susvara owners I have gotten to know, as well as manufacturers and reviewers whose advice I trust. The list should apply to other hard to drive planars. Feel free to add to this list!

  1. Wells Audio Headtrip II

  2. Bakoon 13-R

  3. Audiogd Master 9

  4. Audiogd HE 9

  5. Audiovalve Solaris

  6. Audiovalve Luminare

  7. Riviera AIC 10

  8. GSX MK 2

  9. Cayin IHA-6

  10. Nimbus US4+

  11. Topping A90

  12. GSX-Mini

  13. Flux FA-10

Tube Amplifiers:

  1. Cayin HA 300B

  2. Auris Headonia

  3. Auris Nirvana

  4. ZMF Pendant

Integrated amps/speaker amps (many Susvara owners prefer speaker amps as you will know):

  1. Schiit Ragnarok

  2. PrimaLuna EVO 400

  3. PrimaLuna Dialog Premium HP

  4. McIntosh MA352

  5. Hegel H160

  6. Cayin CS-55A

  7. Mogwai SE

  8. Schiit Vidar

Other reputed amplifiers Susvara owners have tried and liked include the Vioelectric HPA V281, the Benchmark HPA4, Bryston BHA 1, and the SPL Phonitor X, but there are debates on how well these amps actually drive the Susvara close to its full potential. The Benchmark amp was recommended by Hifiman reps during a recent Canjam for trial during show conditions.
