Please recommend me a headphone amp/DAC for sensitive headphones

Hi guys

 

I'm in the market for a reasonably priced desktop headphone amp/DAC to combine with my Sennheiser HD 448, which are quite sensitive at only 32 ohm. At this point I'm considering the iBasso D4 (maybe the all new D12?) and the Audinst HUD-MX1. I don't really need portability though, as it'll be residing at my office desk. Help me choose please smily_headphones1.gif

Fiio E7 is cheap and has a 60 step digital volume control.  Should be fine, but I've never used it myself.

If it's really low impedance / low power requirements, have you checked with the experience of others on how they respond to amping?

Just FYI, has low impedance cans mean need amps that produce higher current. I never heard that Senn, so I'll leave the amp suggestion for others who experienced with it.

One person recommended me the Audinst, on account of owning this combination himself. I have tried a pure amplifier as well, the Argon HA1, and I found that it drove the cans better than just the PC.
