I've searched for this, and gone through 20+ pages, but didn't find anything that fit my needs.
 
I'm looking for a dedicated Headphone amp, no dac or anything, it must play from my CD-player.
The sound must flat out the sound of the AH-D2000's (I think they are too bassheavy, and i wan't a warmer sound).
 
Genres is pretty much allround, from Jazz, over Metal, Electronic to Classical.
 
Then the price. Around the price of the headphones, down to 350$, up to 550$.
 
Thanks.

have you checked out anything by little dot? the tube amps would help you out with a warmer sound, not sure how much it would flatten the d2000's out though (could try a little EQing with it). Of course they're a little under your price range, but you could always upgrade the tubes and easily hit that mark.

Thank you very much, i think i will try to have a look on Little Dot MKViii+, as the tube amp in my price range has a recommended load of 32ohms minimum. And actually i've only tried non-tube amps, so this one might be good. I'll see if i can try it somehow.

I'm gonna give the FiiO E7/E9 combo a try
