Is this amp good? - Denon PMA-510AE

I'm planning to buy a pair of Sennheiser HD 598 and an amplifier to drive them. I initially wanted to get an Asus Xonar Essence STX but then I found this Denon amplifier and noticed it has adjusters for bass, treble and balance. Here are the specs: http://www.meetgadget.com/gadget/48472/Denon+PMA-510AE

 

I have a question, knowing HD 598 are bass shy headphones, will the Denon be able to bring their bass to life without distortions? I'm not a basshead but I like listening to electronica from time to time, just want the bass to be there and easy to hear.

 

Also, will an Asus Xonar DS be good enough as source for the sound? like this: Asus Xonar DS -> Denon amp -> Senn HD598.

 

Thanks in advance!
