First let me just say that I never heard the PICO.
I do not think a portable amp, even the mighty PICO, will be able to drive the HD-580 properly, maybe it can do a somewhat decent job, but it won’t drive the senns to its full potential.
Second, with the money the PICO costs, you can get a much better amp, not a portable one, but a much better amp, no doubt about it. Third, I think you would have to wait some time on the pre-order list, unless you where contemplating a used one.
If you search on the forum for PICO+HD650/600/580, you will find that most would agree that a portable setup, even the PICO, would not be ideal.
Again, for the cost of a PICO amp(w/DAC) you can get ZERO+Little dot MKV/MKIVse, and these two amps (or one from darkvoice) will most certainly drive the Seens and any other cans you may want to try, even 600 impedance cans.
And I know for a fact that a Ibasso boa wont properly drive any 300ohm, I've tried, no good.
