On a simpler note, look at the Valhalla 2's specs. It makes most of its power into 300 ohms. It was basically designed for 300 ohm headphones like the HD650.
What about its little brothers, Magni2 and Magni2uber? Do they have adequate power to drive the HD650 (or HD600) to greatness?
The Magni 2 and the Magni 2 Uber will have plenty of power to drive the HD 650s (and most other headphones, for that matter). I have the original Magni and it's amazingly powerful, especially given the small size. I also second Lui's suggestion above to also check out the Vali. It's a great little amp!
Haven't heard the Val 2, but if we're talking sub $1000, the Mjolnir clearly kicks the schiit out of the first Valhalla.
I have a Vali and a Lyr and I honestly can't tell a huge amount of difference in the sound of my HD650's through either of them. Not true of some other headphones but the HD650 in particular, work well with both.
