If I lived in the US then I would be very interested in these Schiit amplifiers.

 

OP may want to search the forums for info about these.

Thanks for the link, they have some interesting stuff there!

Yes they were amped (and some modded for balanced configuration) by multi-thousands of $$$ of equipment.  $300 should definitely get you started and well on your way.  One of the nicest setups I have ever heard (without going totally over-board) was a rockhopper M^3.  I always thought the Gilmore lite is an outstanding "wire with gain" amp for groovy-warm cans like the HD580/600/650.
