I saw an LDM+ here on head-fi that sold for $55 including shipping. Now, I'm not really up for dropping a few hundred on an amp at the moment, so something like that would work for me. Source problems aside for a moment, I've got an HD580 with an Audigy 2ZS that I'd like to amp a bit. Other...

I'd like to avoid spending another $100+ on an amp if I can avoid it. Right now, I have the HD580 sitting in a box right next to me as ordered from Amazon, but the primary source will be an Audigy 2 ZS - hardly the best thing to drive cans with that kind of resistance, from what I understand...

Okay, as you can see, I'm a head-fi virgin. Bear with me. First off: I listen to a lot of rock (Linkin Park, Nickelback, and such, and even some Evanescence-type stuff), a little less classical (I'm a pianist, so there!), and play Counter-Strike competitively in CAL. Now, I have the 497s...
