Fiio E9 vs Schiit Asguard on the HD650?

Hey everyone, I am totally new to this audio scene. I decided to jump on this bandwagon after listening to a store's sampling station. Anyways, after a month of research, I have finally decided on a pair of HD650. But now, I am stuck with choosing an amp for it. I researched here and it seems both the E9 and the Asguard is great with the HD650. Do you guys think the extra $150 is worth it? I will be mostly be listening to R&B and Pop.

 

Any feedbacks would be appreciated! Thanks!

Try everything else, but for God's sake, not the FiiO  E9. That is why:

awww crap, I just ordered the E9 cuz I saw another thread saying how these two paired surprisingly well. If anything, I have 30 days return policy on amazon..

Maybe playing with the op-amps swapping helps, like it was described here:
