Welp, straight to the chase.  I am currently using an ODAC w/ Fiio E11 to supply my cans with music.  However, I am noticing that the E11 is the weak point in my setup, and have some playing around money.  I am a little flexible with my price, and can go a bit over $300 if need be.
 
Suggestions?

Bump and how well will the garage1217 amps synergize with the Mad Dogs?
They look good from what i can tell

 
I think the best of all garage1217 amps for the Mad Dogs (it's a 50 Ohms Fostex T50rp) must be the Project Sunrise II because it's pure Class A and have a great Bass slam (very powerfull amp), wide and deep soundstage and no added harshness, but it's better (dead silent background) with a 12V Tube like ECC82/12AU7 or ECC81/12AT7, in this configuration i think the Project Sunrise II is a great match for the Mad dogs, if you're more interested in tube rolling you'll prefer the Project Ember because it's more convenient (plug'the'tube and it will play) but it's slightly more expensive.

Asgard 2.  It will drive almost anything on the planet and it will sound great in the process.  No, I'm not exaggerating.  It's that good.

Second the project Sunrise II. I have a set of fostex t50rps (I diyd modding them. Didn't want to spend the money on the maddogs and am totally happy with the end result) and it drives them with ease and the synergy is quite nice.
