Or get 650 then the Bottle head and HRT Musicstreamer II+ later?

Want to get Sennheiser HD600/650's but need to know what amp to get. Any advice is apprieciated! 

I got the 580s which are almost exactly the same as the 600s and I'm using a Little Dot 1+ with some Mullard CV4010 tubes and I think it sounds great. The tube upgrade really lifted the veil on them and tightened up the bass.

Upgrading your headphones will make the most noticeable difference, even with the E11. While they won't reach their full potential, they will still sound good out of the E11.
 
That said, if it's possible, you should get a good desktop amp as well. I hope this alleviates some confusion.

The Schiit Valhalla reportedly does very well with the HD650.

Thats alot of money sir. 

 I just read a review and somebody on Amazon reviewed it and said it was so good! I just want to try it out for myself and see if it really is so amazing to have a nice pair of headphones and a nice amp.

This is my night time set up at the nurses station.  I usually use my Brainwavz Beta's that came with my Alpen, but my youngest daughter decided to give them a bath in a glass of water.  I'm drying them out as we speak.  Using F2K + Wasapi on my Asus Aspire notebook and listening to Ashes To Ashes (a Bowie cover) by Warpaint.

The Asgard is pretty good Schiit as well 

 I haven't heard it, but it reportedly sounds very good with Senns

Please keep to posting pictures and the chat to other threads preferably. Thanks.

If you have a 650, get the O2 and ODAC (or wait for the assembled desktop model, which should be the same thing). It's all you'll ever need, and it's relatively cheap.
 
EDIT: sorry, forgot this was a picture thread for a second. So used to just browsing it. : (

I've been thinking about the same thing, at least the O2. Gonna try it sometime to see if I like neutral and of so look into the SPL Auditor or something of the like.
 
Sorry for the off topic...but why can't we discuss too?

One change since my last picture.  I was inspired by Silent One to try some isolation cones.  Well, that and the fact the handmade feet that came with the amp were not the same size, so I had a chronic wobble!  I also can't seem to find a level shelf in my entire apartment, so the adjustable feet are a nice touch.
 
So far, I can't tell any change in the sound, but the change in my mind is very positive.  I love the way it looks!

That made me lol, does this resemble your place?

Yes it does. And my mind, too!
