Hi. I'm running an HD-650 through a Total Bithead, and I've been wanting to upgrade to a high end amp for a long time, but haven't been able to justify the huge jump in price. Separately, I've been thinking of getting an M-audio Profire 2626, a truly beastly looking interface, for recording drums, and since I work at a music store that sells them, I can get one at a great price. Now, I'm wondering if I can kill two birds with one stone, and have the Profire double as a headphone amp. What, if any, improvement might that be over the bithead? Suggestions for other amp/DAC combos are also welcome, preferably not more than $600.
