Right guys I know already i'm gonna get flamed a lot for having the headphones I do but my girlfriend bought me them for my birthday and I really love the sound they produce for the type of music I listen to.
 
Which BTW is house/electrohouse/Fidget/dubstep.
 
My headphones are the Beats By Dr Dre Studio.
 
Not to be obnoxious but I'm not interested in how they are overpriced what better headphones I could get for XXX price etc.
 
Just want you guys from which I've been told are the Audiophile experts to reccomend me a desktop Headphone AMP/DAC to drive my Studio's.
 
I'd be willing to spend upto £160 thats $250 American.
 
It will be for desktop use only and I am after a sound upgrade over my current soundcard which is a Asus Xonar DS.
 
Thanks in advance guys.

Nobpdy got any reccomendations ?
 
I've know somebody selling a Zero 24/192Khz DAC black 09'.
 
Would this be worth buying ?

Never tried Dr. Dre headphone but the Gilmore Lite on sale now is a very good amp.  You can get it now and get a uDac later.

I am pretty happy with my Little Dot 1+ amp with rolled tubes and Keces DA-151 D/A. I am using this setup with a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770/80 Pro's. 
 
The amp is inexpensive but gets good reviews here, is a hybrid so you have some flexibility in tuning it via tube rolling, and IMO it is a great budget desktop amp.

The Keces DA-151 is about $250ish new. I think it made the most impact in my system improvement, especially since my source is my computer.
