Schiit Lyr + Schiit Bitfrost or Schiit Bitfrost & HiFiMan EF5 to Drive HiFiMan HE-6

Alright, so I am looking to invest in a non very expensive setup to drive the HiFiMan HE-6 (or the HE-500, whichever comes first for me). I know the Lyr can drive the HE-6, but how well? What about the HiFiMan EF5?

 

Also, does anyone else have amp suggestions for the HE-6 under $1000? Thanks!

my vote would be the little dot mkvi+.

 

others will tell you to run the he-6 / he-500 off a speaker amp.

but, be aware that it will make the phones sound edgy and overly dynamic.

i have read that the converter box might solve that.  but, i didn't have the patience to try it out...

 

pm me if you want more info on the mkvi+.
