Im looking to get an amp for my HD660 S', does anyone have any suggestions?
Budget would be around maybe.. 500 to 600 aud

Any other DAC/AMPS?Why not support a local company, Burson Audio have their new Play DAC/Amp which is great, but if you want an amp only the Soloist SL MK2 is worth looking at.

If you want solid state, Schiit Jotunheim is a great option for the HD600s series. Alternatively, I remember Zeos commented on how good aune X7S sounds on his hd600 as well so you might wanna check that amp out as well.
On the other hand, if you want a tube amp, I recommend Darkvoice, as mentioned above, (or La Figaro, an updated and more expensive version of Darkvoice), or Woo Audio WA3.
Either way, you won't go too wrong with these options.
Jin092 can always daisy chain a Darkvoice 336SE OTL tube headphone amplifier ($214-$250) off the line-output of the NFB-11.28.According to my experience, amp for HD600 is not so suitable for HD660s. HD660s has different sound signature, with relatively sharp (or I would say "life-making") heighs.
I have Little Dot Mk. II tube amp and found, that these tubes sound very pleasant for me ... almost without that "l-m" spike(s): Mullard EF95 tubes (in blue box) are very good choice for HD660s - solid bass and smooth heighs. Or Mullard 8100 tubes are also great, with nice musicality.
Sometimes I like that "l-m" heighs in songs. Suddenly everything sounds so real and close with these Senn's, but its without some normal soundstage. I suppose, that this is, how they are built to sound.
My favourite amp for HD660s is also ordinary Yamaha solid state amp. It adds a physical throbs to the bass and a lot of energy to music.
