Oh no no no!   My daughter wants a pair of LCD-2's to go with her  iPad.  When I told her the iPad wouldn't scale well or drive the LCD-2's I thought I was safe.  Then she showed me this. The NuForce Icon iDo. http://www.nuforce.com/hp/products/ido/index.php
 
Arg!   After two bad experiences with NuForce I swore never to buy anything from them again.  Now this.   Maybe I can distract her with driving lessons...

Cant she get both?

Just being a new driver, i loved it and will never forget it, but pick or choose between the two; i want both!

51mW rms @ 60 Ohm, not exactly a powerhouse, that's why it comes with a 3.5mm jack instead of 1/4".

WA of course you do realize that if you don't get her what she wants you could severely damage her headphone/audiophile growth of which you will regret for the rest of your life.

Just sayin'

Must be nice to have parents who would buy you $1000 headphones on a whim.

That sounds like it would have awful synergy with the LCD-2s.

Buy her a Denon D2000 instead. Efficient, low impedance, cheap, and somewhat similar frequency response balance.

Sorry, not even close.
 
The D2000 was my introduction to all of this, and the LCD-2 is the end.
