I bought an Audio-Technica ATH-M50 last week and I am very pleased with the sound quality. The volume is already loud enough without an amp. However I am wondering what DAC/Amp would be appropiate for improving its sound quality even further. I would also find the volume knob on an amp/DAC more useful than fiddling with the volume tray icon in windows. I am currently using a Realtek HD integrated sound card on my laptop and playing FLACs through foobar.

µDAC2 pairs very well with M50s.

The M50's are pretty easy to drive, you can also try the Fiio E9.
