Budget Amp for HD650

Hey guys,

 

I just gave myself a little treat and bought the HD650s from another head-fier. Sad thing is, I don't have anything powerful enough to drive them... (My portable amp, the iBasso D10 Cobra, doesn't seem to do justice for something like the HD650) I'm on a budget ($150-250--the more bang for the buck, the better of course) and I welcome any suggestion, so fire away!

PS. I'm thinking of Meier-Audio Corda Arietta... what d'you guys think?

Yulong u100 will be good.

A preowned Gilmore Lite is an excellent match for the Senn HD650. Also a used Headroom Micro Amp does well.

An E9 could work too!

A used original Earmax could work. Mine is dead quiet, and it has enough gain for me at least. It was voice for HD600 or 580s I believe. It has a nice warm/tubey sound yet still pretty detailed. It also has a nice small form factor which could be good for a desktop setup.
