Thanks for all the help everyone! Would you guys say my best option is to go with the magni + modi if I want to keep the amp/dac in the 200 or less price range? I've heard good things about the audioengine d1. Any thoughts on that one?

Thanks for the help. As I've never used an amp or a dac before I'm wondering how much of a difference it really makes. Would you say it makes the music very noticeably better or is it just a subtle difference?

Does anyone have a recommendation on an amp/dac for these headphones? I was looking at the audioengine d1 and the schiit magni + modi combo. Are those options overkill if I'm gonna be running these through my laptop with mp3s @ 320 Kbps? Any help is appreciated.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for an affordable amp (preferably $150 or less) for my sennheiser hd 598s. I would like the amp to keep tight bass while giving the bass a bigger impact. Also, would it serve me well to get DAC too? I'm new to high quality audio. So far I've checked out the FiiO E17...
