You will not need an amp what so ever.

Voodoo, and other software like it, merely acts like an equalizer in the end and increases decibals, or in otherwords, increases volume only. Too much and you'll hear flabbing and flubbing from the drivers. It should be fine without it.

Enjoy!

I was going to say Ultrasone for dubstep is King, while the M50 feels a little warm for electronica, but whatever.

Enjoy your M50s my good sir, great entry level choice.

Fiio E7 (or E11 since you already have a DAC/Music player) + BeyerDynamic DT770 Pro 80's. That's $300. That's serious bass, and good sound quality on top of it. Portable. Very comfortable. Looks nice too (not goofy like Sony XB700's, but that's just my opinion of course).

I'm biased though--I use a similar setup for Dub & other electronic musics (Deadmau5, Skrillex, etc).

As a note on bass ability, the DT770 Pro's can play this sample without flubbing, tight, controlled, and clear. It's sick. These things are bass monsters.

Very best,

dude..... that sample...... seriously....
