I began a quest of having a good can setup a little over two years ago.  Now - after various iterations that we all have been though - end up spending enough money that we should have bought something at or near our end game up front comes into play.

Can we get a massdrop x Little Bear portable tube amp?

Such a highly regarded portable amp would love to see it pop up here for a discount or even better a massdrop collab.

I'd say sort-of mandatory. You can get a portable amp, one very popular one that I also use very often is the Fiio e10k if I remember correctly - shouldn't be over $100. But otherwise listening the HD6xx on an iPhone let alone generic computer with no external or proprietary amp and/or DAC will be like keeping a sports car in a school zone speed limit.

I received a Hugo as a (very nice) gift a couple of years ago and have been able to demo a variety of headphones with it, including the Audeze LCD 2, 3, X, and XC; the Fostex TH-900 and TH-X00; and the Senn HD 650 and 800.  I briefly owned the LCD-XC (awesome, but too heavy), TH-900 (fun, but too intense up top), and HD650 (would like to have again), but currently only own the TH-X00 and some old Senn HD-595s.  I did spend enough time with...

Can we do Oppo HA-2SE portable amp?

Couldn't find anywhere on the website a poll for this product. Reviewers say it's pretty good portable amp and goes well with the HD650s.

since you are clearly very new to this, in the EU they limit the output power/volume of devices to protect peoples hearing, this means that the firmware of EU editions of devices has an artificial limit making it so those who use the firmware ment for their region of the world will endup needing an amp far more so then those in the US.

I have bought EU editions of products 2nd hand and flashed the US or Oceania firmware to gain back output...

Reply added to Brand Spotlight: Massdrop x Sennheiser

Wow...thank you for the reply! I have loved the 1st Gen Sennheiser Momentum over-ear/around ear since I bought them years ago. They are just an all around great headphone for movies, music, travel, and surprisingly good at isolation. But the musicality and sound right out of the box  really blew me away. I do wish I could hear the latest HD1 before responding but here's what I would love to have after enjoying the original the last few years!
