[size=10pt]Hi all need some help with my HD650's Please[/size]
 
[size=10pt]     Could you please recommend a portable amp that is guaranteed to be able to drive my HD650’s.[/size]
 
[size=10pt]I’m not on a budget, but my goal is to get a good portable amp that can power the headphones I have. [/size]
 
Thanks in advance, I’m not very knowledgeable in this subject so all advise and recommendation are much appreciated.
 
I'll be using the headphones with my laptop MSI G series GX70 3BE, to listen to audio

I don't think there is one definative answer. Whatever Amp you choose It needs to be powerful, bright, accurate and stable. Most people I know who have them chose the Graham Slee Solo because this is what Sennheiser used to demo them with... Although I'd probably have a look at something higher end with a DAC if you are using the laptop a lot as source..
 
Does it have to be portable?
If you are just looking for a DAC/Amp see- http://www.head-fi.org/t/613133/2012-best-dac-amp-for-sennheiser-hd650 for some ideas

Thanks Ari, I want it to be portable so I can take it with me when I travel.

Guys What about this
 
ASUS Xonar Essence One Muses Edition
 
It's not exactly portable, but it's small enough to carry around ?
 
Is that the best option at that price range ?
