cans for around $100?

HE-400 + Schitt Magni + iPod Touch question
I'm about to pull the trigger on a HE-400 + Schitt Magni connected to my iPod Touch. I was wondering, what cord do I need to buy to connect the Magni to my iPod? Can I just use a FiiO L9 or do I have to buy a certain cord? Thanks.- theneedledrop

Portability is not a problem, I will be listening to these at home. I'm thinking about the HE-400's, the sound quality is apparently pretty good on them.- theneedledrop

I recently purchased a pair of Sennheiser HD650's and after much consideration (terrible for iPod listening, need a decent desktop amp) decided that it seems too much for me. I refunded them and I am going to purchase a cheaper, less power-hungry set of cans. What is the absolute...- theneedledrop
