Know any amps under 500 bucks that will power it neutrally, like solid state amps? I'm not sure I'm even convinced about the ability of an amplifier to produce a better sound if it gives it enough power and has a good dac. I can literally head the difference of the sound from my ****ty laptop's built in sound card between plugging my dac into it, but I don't know about amplifiers.

The LCD-2 isnt nearly as difficult to push as the Hifiman planars like the 500 or he6...I use a vintage receiver headphone out to drive mine.

I would ask over in the LCD-2 thread for dedicated amp suggestions...

LCD-2 owner here. For SS I've had a lot of success with Burson (HA-160) and Schiit (Asgard2, Jotunheim) amps so far pushing them with ample power to spare and great sound. The Jotunheim w/ the built in DAC is right at 500 and gives you a lot of flexibility. That said a Magni / Modi would be more than sufficient as a starting place if you wanted to start small - they'll push them easily.
