What is the best amplifier or dac combo I could get for my HD6XX for around 100$...? Any suggestions? If it's an amp dac combo it is much better because I'm on onboard laptop audio as source. Tube or solid state it does not matter even though I love the warmish sound.

I am looking at

FX AUDIO DAC-X6 at the moment but I don't know good it is for HD6XX.

Fiio Q1 maybe?

This would probably be a better question to ask in the recommendation thread: https://www.head-fi.org/forums/introductions-help-and-recommendations.7840/

I'll add that I think most of the $100 solutions won't really let you hear what the HD6xx are capable of. Most will make them sound the same if not a slight improvement over your computers audio card. At the least you'll have more volume to play with.

If you could save up for MCTH w/DAC that will really give you a good taste of what the headphones can sound like.

Sorry for posting it here. I wish I could shift this to category you mentioned. What is MCTH?

Thanks a lot for the information.

The Cavalli Liquid Spark for $99 is a fantastic amp. Plenty of power for the HD6XX, which is my current set up, and it sounds great.

Thank you...! that's something i haven't heard before so i googled it and ended up in monoprice website about a "Liquid Spark" portable amplifier. Is this the model you're referring to?

That’s the one, it’s a joint venture with Cavalli Audio and Monoprice. It’s unfortunate that they don’t ship to your location. Maybe you can find someone to buy it for you and ship to you.

Here’s the thread on it, if you want more info about the amp. It’s pretty small, about the footprint of a CD case and about 4 CD cases tall.
