Hi All,
This is my first post on this forum, i've been reading about headphones and amps for a few weeks now, and this site contributed majorly to my choice to buy some sennheiser hd 650's. I have found them very deep and impactful on the low-end, caressing in the mid range and very easy on the high end. I am currently powering them of my 2010 mac book pro and was actually surprised by how good they ran.
My question really is in two parts:
1. How much of a benefit would i get in purchasing a low to mid range amp (under 300 dollars) to the clarity, soundstage etc.
2. What are some good amps that fit into that price range.
I was looking on the internet and found this little usb soundcard, was wondering if that would be powerful enough for the hd 650's!?

Thanks for your time guys, great advice on the hd 650's, they are truly amazing.
