I have recently bought some Sennheiser HD650s and have plugged them in to my Marantz SR7007 AV receiver. Despite the fact that they are not yet run in, the sound is excellent, easily as good as I expected. My plan was to buy an amp to power them properly, something like the Little Dot Mk3 or Schitt Valhalla. However, whilst a lot of people seem to be of the opinion that an amp is the only way to go for the HD650s, a significant minority say that there will be little or no difference between an amp and the standard headphone out of a receiver provided that the receiver has enough juice in the first place. It certainly sounds like my Marantz is doing a good job, so would I notice a reasonable improvement if I went for one of these amps?
