Does Schiit Audio ship to Saudi Arabia? That's where I'd start....
Ah ha!!Now I see the whole picture. The hd650 is not what I'd call incredibly difficult to amp and sound pretty darn good, BUT...I've found over the years that it actually does scale nicely with better gear. It definitely needs a dedicated hp amp. Consider these:
*Vali $120 (built in tubes, incredibly hard to beat the sound quality for the money)
*Lyr 2 $450 (dynamic powerful, you can roll your own tubes, built like a tank, will power just about any hp with ease)
*Bottlehead Crack $300 (this a DIY build it yourself amp, if there is any truly magical pairing between headphone and amp then this is it. If you plan to stick with the hd650 then you really should consider this amp).
There are lot's of these amps for sale right now on the used forum here, if you are okay with buying used.
Hey guys I recently ordered a pair of HD650 and it should arrive this week. The problem is I still don't have any dac/amp and currently trying to find the best combo for up to 250$~.
So far top choise seem to be the magni/modi but I wanna hear your opinion on this.
The Lyr with stock tubes is decent at best, roll the right tubes in it and it is a phenomenal amp for the money.
The No Schiit for you is your loss, the Lyr/Hd650/HE-500/Lcd-2/HD600/MadDog/ZMF and many other cans have just chill inducing synergy with it. Although I must admit I spent a ton of money finding the "perfect to my ear tubes", but many others have paved the way at finding the "right tubes".
