I have the Sennheiser HD558 headphones, the Pioneer VSX-1120 receiver, and the Fiio E11 headphone amp (which should be delivered to my home tomorrow) for my iPod Touch. I really don't like the sound quality coming out of my Pioneer VSX-1120's headphone jack, because it has a poor headphone section, but I like its audio dac. I would like to get a headphone amp that is not portable like the Fiio E11 that is under for under $300. Please recommend one for me that does not bypass any of the audio decoders in my receiver.

Does your receiver have pre-amp outs or a tape loop?

 My Pioneer receiver has preouts and cd-r/tape out/in.

The Schiit Asgard is a very good little amp.  You can connect this with RCA cables to your receiver and get very good sound.  I really like my Asgard.  Great for the money.
