Hello, I posted a similar post under portable amps, but I wanted the opinions from both forums. I recently got a pair of K271, and I've heard they sound quite better with an amp, now is this true first off? And if, what amp would someone recommend to me? Keep in mind, I do not have a large budget (Max 80), and I'm also looking for any advice, thanks!
 
Edit: Also, school starts for me again shortly, so is the difference between a portable amp huge compared to a desktop? I'd use the portable much more. Thanks!

eBay, search for "headphone amplifier", they have both solid state and tube, lots of them ship from China.

If you don't have an amp and dac, do some research on Nuforce HDP/HD.  I had the Nuforce HDP and it really gave it the snap in the bass and sparkle in the treble and made them sound really open and alive.
