DT 770 80ohm help with amp...

[frenox]

hi everyone, new guy here. 
 
i currently have E10K as my amp/dac, and i think it still cannot drive dt770 80ohm to its maximum potential especially in bass section. 
any recommendation ? should i hunt for other headphone or find AC powered amp ?

Are you finding that you have to crank the E10K most of the way or all the way up in perceived volume (not the dial setting, but what you hear)?

If so, you might benefit from an amp.

What is your budget?

Bravo Ocean amp or Schiit Vali amp.
Just plug them into the E10K's line-output jack.
 
Or replace the DT770 with SoundMagic HP150 or HD200 headphones.
