I've been waiting for a good sale on the 32 Ohm DT990 or DT770s because I'm not wanting to buy an amp. If I'm running these from my receiver (Denon 1913) would they be fine?
If so, you should also consider the limited edition all-black series: 770/880/990 are available on Amazon for $200 average. Beautiful looks. ALSO, a rare release of DT 770 with 16ohm impedance too is available on Amazon - more easily driven than even the 32ohm version.
I have the Cayin C5 and my HD650 sounds as good as it gets with a portable amp with this little but powerful amp - you are in for a treat, they sound really, really good together.
I can blindly recommend this setup. It does get better with a proper desktop amp of course...
I am going to get a pair of hd600s this weekend... I only have a fiio e12 right now.... Will that be enough to drive them and make them sound as they should?

Yeah, the 16ohm version went down to $130 for a week or so. I'm kinda regretting not jumping on it. My main hesitation with them was the fixed wire and then the extra 30 bones for the velour pads (a requirement of mine).
Damn. I may just buy them but have something like the Fiio e10k sitting in my amazon cart and play it by ear. Thanks for the response.

Email beyerdynamic. They sell directly or through authorized dealers too. Modding it into detachable cables and velour and even balanced connection isn't all that hard. Yes, final cost will reach $190. But, if I were you, I would order DT-150. One sexy soundstage and very balanced output with lovely bass presence. Amping is very essential, though. Not for portable use.
Can you point me to where you see that? To the contrary I read a few reviews that clearly says it is excellent.
Also simply based on Shiit reputation and track record I would be very surprised if they new 'main bread & butter offering had a good amp paired with horrible dac. Just common sense.

The e12 is as powerful as the C5 - so power won't be missing. I found the e12 to have a bit less soundstage but overall still really good match with the 650 - you will hear improvements with a powerful and good desktop amps for sure - but it certainly makes the 650 already sound really good. The 650 scale really well with great amps - so there will always be something better on the horizon. Jotunheim, H10, Bottlehead Crack, etc.

Excellent dacs are at least Auralic Vega, Schiit Gumby/Yggy, Rockna Wavedream, Chord HugoTT/Dave, MSB, Audio Note and etc.
This internal Jodies DAC is more for convinience, but not for frequent goose bumps
Its not very good because its tonality is cold and overall sound signature is laid-back. Mid-upper bass (80-250hz) lacks in quantity and energy. Highs are not so transparent and feels rough (not harsh). Not so involving...
