Never heard the Schiit amps that you mentioned but I am currently reviewing the zen can and I can assure you that it is excellent.
Except from the 4.4mm pentacon plug that they use for the balanced input and the somewhat loose buttons I can't find any fault.
I would dare to say that for the price point it is reference and I am planning to buy it.
Mind you that it is balanced while the Schiit amps aren't.

I'm gonna order HD6xx on black friday. So i'm looking an amp for these. I was thinking Magni 3+ or Heresy. What do you think? Will that be enough? I'm in Europe and wiling to pay max 200 euro for amp.
I run my phone (streaming losless qobuz or Amazon hd) into a Modi and Heresy. After you posted this I grabbed my hd6xx's to give them a run on that setup. They normally are in my music room and used for playing and mixing guitar and bass.
I am not a long-time audiophile so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I thought the setup did very well for a modest dac/amp. The usually midrange clarity was there, the soundstage was great and plenty of bass for me. They kept up admiraly well vs the Sony Mdr Z1rs that I usually listen to through that setup. It's difficult to compare an open and closed-back but I would have no issues using that combo with the Senn's.
Whereas I run the volume around 9:00 in high gain with the Sonys, it was closer to 11 to drive the 6xx's. Good luck!

Yes that's a dac / amp with very good sound but with less power.
If you don't have a decent dac then you could start with this and later on you can add the zen can if you feel that you are missing on power.

A mini setup for the HD6XX. I personally think that it is really important to get the HD650 / 6XX in order to really make further progress in this hobby. It really sets a great baseline for how a good setup should sound. Get the HD6xx and build your upgrade path along with it. It scales really well with great source gear and it will never be the bottleneck of it. The HD6XX baseline really allows you to evaluate your DACs and AMPs and identify the area for improvement and upgrades for source gear.
The HD6XX/650 is whatever positive superlative you can throw at it. It’s simply astonishing, especially from a price/performance perspective. I listen to my headphones 6-8 hours per day and the 6XX are the only ones I can do that with. Comfort, and that insanely great liquid smooth sound signature make that possible.

Well my ears hear plenty enough highs with the HD650s. True, not as much as with the DT990s, but those headphones invent, come up with highs that don't exist in the recording
