Hi Head-Fi, I'm pretty new here.

Right now I have a Beyer dt770 pro and will soon have head-direct RE-0 (great deal). For an amp I have an iBasso T4.

I love the 770 sound and am fairly satisfied with my T4. I could fairly be called a basshead.

If my budget is under $400, would strongly prefer to spend between $200 and $300, what new amp would you recommend to me? I would slightly prefer it to have a DAC and slightly prefer it to be portable, but neither of those preferences come before SQ.

Thanks for the help!

PS
I've looked at the RSA Tomahawk, RSA P-51 Mustang, RSA Hornet Mini^3 from YBM Audio, Starving Student Mini Millet from Whiplash Audio, MiniBox E+, iBasso D10, iBasso P3+, iBasso fi.Quest, Practical Devices XM5, Corda 3MOVE, Corda Swing, Leckerton UHA-3, Antique Audio MG Head DT, Headamp Pico Slim, Headamp AE-2, Headroom Micro, and XIN Reference

Note: my 770's are 80 ohm, and I generally listen to rock, a bit of hip-hop, and some electronic in between.

Oh yeah forgot to include that one but I've heard good things about it, would you recommend it?

Also maybe Nuforce Icon...

I think I've decided on a desktop, solid-state amplifier. That narrows it down to Headroom Micro, iBasso fi.Quest, and Meier Corda Swing. Recommendations from those?
