This question has been asked a number of times and one recommendation thats always made is the Headamp Gilmore Lite. This amp is powerful enough to drive the senns well, sounds excellent.... with a very neutral, transparent character, has an exemplary build quality, has a nice loop out feature, small size for easy placement, is upgradeable and finally the cost is $299 matching your budget limit.
I have the 580's and a MisterX built PPA. The PPA is a superb amp. There are a lot of builders out there, commercial and private. Shop around for the price and options you like. The PPA is hard to beat (IMO)
I also own 580's, and within the last few weeks have been looking at upgrading my amp. From reading quite a few reviews, i decided on the M3 from MisterX.
Depending on what options you go for with the M3, it should fall within your budget.
