The best headphone amplifier for Senheiser HD-650

What is the best inexpensive amp for these headphones? Creek?, Grado?, Musical Fidelity? Rock music. Appreciate your response.

There's one on Agon now for $600, or if you'd like to wait 2 weeks, I will likely be selling mine for $550 (once I get my speaker amps back, the headphones will unlikely see use for months). You will find no better Senn headamp for rock music, IMHO. Very fast attack, very full sound, and lots of dynamics.

I have used it with both the HD600s and the HD650s. I have the optional BB OPA627s installed on it and it is superb. You might try a website called www.head-fi.com It's a serious website for headphone enthusiasts - there are many writeups about headphone amps, headphones, cables, DACs, etc... Cheers, Dennis
