I'm looking for a headphone amp for my D2000's. The source is a Xonar D2.

I mostly listen to dubstep/dnb/idm, and would like a sound with very clean and volumous bass. I'm on a student budget, but I won't set a price so I can see a "full range" of recommendations.

Any ideas along these lines?

I have an M3 and if you can find one (I know Stephen at Rockhopper is posting up a new one soon) they have a very clean and powerful sound, very aggressive and good with electronic, electro, techno, drum & bass, what have you. I can only imagine they'd generate even more bass for a closed headphone (my DT770s come tomorrow so we'll see), I have HD650s.

At 25ohm impedance, the D2ks need some really sick current to push the bass out cleanly and powerfully. The M3 has three pairs of 17 amp mosfets inside. It can deliver the goods.

Shanling PH100 has been said to go well with the D2000's, it also has a crazy amount of power and is fully discrete class A.
