Hard to beat at asking price....

Could this little device amplify a headset like Sennheiser HD600? Have enough power to drive them?

Sources claiming it should not be a problem driving the HD600/HD650.

"Fantastic; bought this to use with my laptop but tested it first with my desktop iMac, and to my great surprise, let it far better than the bulky NuForce DAC + Headphone amplifiers in two parts that I already have. Very fine resolution, large ljudbilde with my Sennheiser HD650. And completely colorless. Listen mostly to classical and jazz, and it will be close to perfect. Have a couple of Hegel DAC previously, and are also very happy with them, but they took a long time to record, not so with Super."

"Surprisingly powerful amp for such a small device. It had no difficulty driving my 300 ohm Sennheiser HD600 headphones to very loud volume levels."

Thank you for reply HIFIRobot

Does anyone else have firsthand experience with pairing a Hegel Super with an HD600/650? 
Adu, did you get yourself on? 

 

I'm using Sennheiser HD650s and I'm looking for a small portable DAC/Headphone amp. I have my eyes on the Hegel, the Resonessence Labs Herus/Herus+ seem like a great alternative, and those are said to be able to drive cans with up to 600 Ohms impedance.

Is it possible to add another amp to this? I got one but I think its not that good to have an amplifier after another one? I want a physical volume control but love the sound of my Super.
