All of Ray's portable amps can drive the HD650 no problem.

He actually uses the HD600 when designing his amps.

Even the cheapest Ray Samuels portable amps happen to cost as much as OP's budget... That's something to think about.

First, the HD-650 will require a decent amp to drive them, whether it's a portable amp or not.  The E6 would be a joke with the 650's.  You'd probably  have to spend as much on an amp as you would spend on the 650's (around $400 to $500 plus).  And what about the need for a DAC?

Do you listen to Lossless files (FLAC), or do you listen to inferior low quality MP3s ?

From what you've written are you just interested in loud ear-damaging volume, and sound quality is not that important.  If that's the case and you use MP3's (or even worse YouTube audio), then just get any $20 headphones and use your Fiio E6.
