I am looking at getting either the Sennheiser hd25-iis or the hd598s for my first pair of mid-fi headphones. I was wondering what portable headphone amp would work good out of an ipod or computer. Any recommendations are welcome.

I used this amp mainly with a pair of HD 650 and it does what it is supposed to do: it has way more power than I need, it's quiet and it makes everything sound in its place. I have never heard...

I have no experience with the HD 598 but I really enjoy my JDSLabs C421 (with OPA2227 opamp) with my HD25's. They pair quite well. Not so with the iBasso D-Zero, I'd avoid it with the HD25's.
