Hello everyone, its my first time on this great forum
By no means I consider myself an audiophyle, I feel more like an enthusiast with basic knowledge about this hobby
Saying that, I will be gettin on december one of the Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX edition (basically a HD650) for $200, I also own a pair of ATH-M50x and a Sennheiser HD 518, for both of them I have been using them without any AMP or DAC equipment thanks to their relatively low impedance.
It seems it will be not the case with the HD 6XX and its demanding impedance of 300 ohm and I need your expertise on this matter
I usually use my cans in my laptop from work and on my Samsung S7 Edge, I need a DAC/AMP combo since this laptop provides really plain and boring sound for some reason (urgently needs a good DAC) and my smartphone handles this much better
What do you guys think? Any other suggestion that wont blow up my wallet and still justifies having a pair of HD 5XX?
Thanks in advance

- I have been thinking about the AudioQuest - DragonFly Red, how does it handle the HD 650s??? Also I read some claims about thing not runny properly on Android
- Also I have been reading a lot of recomendations about the Mojo - Chord as the best solution, but the price of $500 worries me a little bit since its more expensive that any of my headphones, but still I can consider it if you guys tell me that is the only proper way to power the HD 650s on the go and unlock its true potential
