Hey all.  I'm currently throwing together a budget audio system and am in need of advice for a basic amp.  Since this will be used exclusively in the home, I tend to prefer the non-battery powered varients. For headphones, I'm currently deciding between a pair of CharterOak SP-1's and a Beyerdynamic DT880 pro's (both used).
 
Basically, I'm looking for something available from a Canadian retailer, or at the very least shipped from Canada, that will power one of the above.  Ideally in the $200 range, but if if there is absolutely nothing but crap in that price range I guess I could be persuaded to go higher, but at the cost of not being able to purchase the headphones for a couple months.
 
So, any suggestions?

Firestone Cute Beyond is 185, and they ship to Canada. Just bought one myself, as part of a somewhat budget system.

Smart choice, later on you can change/upgrade the opamps and add the nicer power supply to it, should make it a pretty decent amp.
