Hi, I have been checking thru some threads to see what amp would work well with me HE-500's. I've come to the conclusion that the Woo Audio WA7 is quite a nice choice as well as the Emotiva Mini-X with a DAC and the Lyr + BiFrost . I can't make up my mind between these really so thus I decided to start this thread hoping somebody can push me more in the right direction. If there are others I don't know about I am welcome to recommendations. I will be getting more headphones eventually so an amp I can use now AND with future cans would be really nice. I have no amp or DAC at the moment and am using a Essence STX card to power the HE-500's currently. Thanks a ton for any and all help I can get on this!!! Really appreciate it.

Have you looked at audio GD 11.32 (http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/Headphoneamp/NFB1132/NFB11.32EN_Specs.htm, http://www.head-fi.org/t/624517/audio-gd-nfb-11-32-delivery-impression-thread). I received 11.32 about 7 hours ago. I am pleased about the sound quality.
 
Another option is 15.32 (http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/Headphoneamp/NFB1532/NFB15.32EN.htm, http://www.head-fi.org/t/648386/audio-gd-nfb-15-32-delivery-impression-thread).

Hmmm...haven't checked those out but they do seem nice. Might look more into them. Anybody else got any input on any of the amps mentioned in this thread? Or maybe a La Figaro 339? Heard that was a nice one as well.
