Started to read this thread the past few hours ( mostly further back pages). Seems most recommendations are the Schiit amps.
Unfortunately for me, there no longer a local dealer so I opted for a Violectric V222 with my fairly new HE1000 stealth. I believe it’s a good pairing. However I’ve yet to get a proper DAC and currently using an ifi zen dac

Few days ago went to my pals and tried his Lampizator big7, and I was in awe of what this headphone is capable. No words to describe how good it was, not just technical. It’s the emotion of the music/artist can be felt.
Signal chain- cayin N8 - digital out to Lapizator big7 - rca out to v222 - stock cable to HE1000 stealth
Usb and rca cables(siltech) are high-end usd1500-2000 each
I am super happy that I chose this hp over LCD-X and Focal Clear mg pro
