Amp for HE-5LE's in the UK? | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

Looking for a powerful amp on a budget for these things, and must be obtainable in the UK.

Currently using a Maverick D1, but the bass clips when i start EQ'ing it up a few notches.

I've seen the Hifiman HE adaptor that you can plug into a speaker amp, but wouldn't know where to start with looking at speaker amps, so that's an option but i'd need some help.

Many thanks in advance

What's your budget? The HE-5LEs are rather power-thirsty, that being the case I'd advise you get a Schiit Lyr if you can afford one. They are available from Mark at Electromod for £419. If that's too much, get an Audio-GD DAC/Amp (check their site for options) from Frank at Toxic Cables.

A few friends have given positive comments about the Burson soloist with ortho's. Its a good value unit and have enough power to spare.
