Solid-state, non-portable. The K601 is very inefficient and needs a fair amount of power. The only amps I've heard that did justice to the K601 were the HeadAmp Gilmore Lite and GS-1. I didn't think the Cayin HA-1A tube amp worked well with it sonically.

Thank you, Asr.
Any other brands?

I'm happy to read this, since I've bought a Gilmore Lite + DPS and am looking forward to receiving it. The K601 is definitely on my short list of headphone acquisitions, and was hoping to hear from someone who's heard it with this amp. Another thank you, Asr!

Reviving this old thread to add that the Heed CanAmp is a VERY good match for these cans.
