A proper amp Under $200 for Beyerdynamic DT770

Hello,

 

Looking for a tube or solid state amp around or under $200 to drive Beyerdynamic DT770 pro 80 ohm cans optimally.

Read a little and heard about the Musical paradise mp 301 mkii, Qinpu a 6000 mkii, schiit asgard, etc. Not sure how great they will power 80ohm headphones. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The Schiit Asgard should work quite well or the HiFiMan EF2A.

Looks like a great price on the A 6000 mkii, everywhere else seems to be $250. Does anyone know if the 80ohm cans are a good match for this?

my pro 80s sound good out of anything with some power.

ive yet to find something that they truly synergize with.

they just always sound good as long as the source has any balls at all(ie not a cell phone or ipod)

I was persuaded to not buy a budget tube amp and instead get a fully solidstate USB DAC/AMP combo, so I bought one of these earlier today,
