Some say to only use a desktop amp. I'm interested in what portable amp does work well with the HD600?

Try the iBasso PB1 (or PB2) and also the SR-71B. Good voltage sources with high peak swings.
 
Most have had good results with the Graham Slee Voyager as well.
 
I normally use my HD600 with a desktop amplifier, but that's because of size issues (I mainly use IEMs when I'm out of the house or in the office).

SR71 is a very good amp, I owned one for years.  I would put the the c421 from JDS labs up against it.  Both great amps each with it's own signature.

I am using LISA III driving my HD650, if you call LISAIII as portable. LOL.

Second the Graham Slee Voyager - that thing is beautiful with HD600 and DT880.

Seems portable to me.  I would love to hear one someday.  Anyone going to RMAF this year?

iBasso P4, especially with the AD797s installed (with the discrete transistor buffers).

I concur that the P4 is a great budget option. I've been running my HD650 off my AHA-120 (which I'm selling because I don't need a portable) but it beat (imo) the P4, E9 and O2 fairly easily. Spendy though! 

 

[CJG888]

Have you have a chance to compare the P4 with the O2? How do they stack up?

I want AHA-120 more by reading your reply.

No one has heard the Leckerton UHA-4?

I've got the iBasso P4, RSA SR71A, RX MK2, Continental V2 on top of the popular, smaller portables. My favorite open can is without doubt the HD600 but I've never worn them outdoors. However, I really like my Touch > iStreamer > SR71A or RX MK2 combo.
