I plan to save up money this summer from a job and purchase a new pair of cans and an amplifier to go with them, with a budget of ~$500. I have been looking at the Beyer dt880/600s and the AKG k702s as candidates, however I am unsure about the amplifier. The ALO-audio Pan Am looks incredible and seems to fit all of my needs except for price. Size is also a concern with the amp because I go to a boarding school and I will need to transport it. I am willing to go to $600 if it is really a necessary upgrade, but it would be stretching my budget for sure.
I started looking into Schiit products and I immediately came away impressed. The build and design both look very good, and I was looking at a Modi for the DAC and an Asgard 2 or a Valhalla for the amp. These really seem to be the best options in my price range. I have also heard that the Matrix M-stage is a good option. For these specific headphones, I was wondering which combination you think has the best sound for the price.
Thanks in advance for your time, this research can really be overwhelming. I got a largely positive response last time and forums like this make me love the internet.
