Reasonably priced amp for Audeze LCD2?

[jack667]

Hi guys
 
I know there was a huge thread on this before, but after spending a lot of money, my wallet is looking a whole lot lighter.. and now I'm searching for a temporary headphone amp that will do the LCD2's justice until I can afford something better.. 
 
I really am blown away by these.. I opted for the non-leather model and I really think I'm in love!
 
Thanks

Are we talking about sub $200 amps here?

Yeah we are. Would a FILO e17 be ok for now? Or am I setting the bar too low?

consider also O2 as amp and  Hifimediy sabre as DAC if needed

If you are enjoying the sound without an amp at the moment, I would consider saving the $100+ towards THE amp you want for the LCD-2.  If you gotta have something now (no judgement, been there many times 

) The O2 has been recommended a lot, although I have never heard it.  I have listened to my Lcd-2 through an Asgard 1, E17 and E12.  Of the three I think I would recommend the E12 with price factored in.  I didn't think any of these three did the LCD-2 justice though.  Congrats on the purchase and good luck in the search for your audio bliss!
