Hello everyone, I've joined this drop and now planning to build my setup. I don't live in the US and both schiit and jds objective amps are at approximately 200 dollars for the magni. Chi fi is though an option. Which of the following products would you recommend for the headphones?
1. Littledot mk 3 - $250 2. Xduoo xd-05 dac amp - $210 3. Aune x7s - $290 4. Ifi I can nano - $265 5.smsl sanskrit dac 6th edition - $107 6.Aune x1s - $225 7.smsl sap 10 - $190 8.oppo ha-2se - $330 9.beta22 assembled - $330 10. Darkvoice 336 se - $280 11. Topping nx 4 - $160
Which combo or dac amp combination would suit my needs. I don't care as much for power as music quality detail and musicality. I listen to jazz, post rock, progressive rock. I will also drive my dt 770 pro 80.
Edit : I don't want to exceed beyond 350 dollars for the setup! Unless it's highly recommended

KabirchughAs far as I've gone through the comments the little dot, which just dropped a few days ago, is the highest recommended for these headphones. Personally, I just got the Lyr 2 yesterday to go with them and they sound unbelievable. Listening to them right now actually! :P But if I were you I would go with the little dot.

KabirchughI have the X1s and it sound awesome with the 6xx. Keep in mind though that it has an output impedance of 10 ohms. If you follow the 1/8 rule you could expect some dampening problems with headphones that have less than 80 ohms impedance. I have yet to test it on my hd555 and shp9500 which are both below that.

KabirchughNobody has listened to all 11 headphone amps to give you an objective response, and everyone will have their own subjective opinion. For SS, Aune x1s or x7s would get my pick (the x1s is a DAC/Amp, the x7s is an amp only). For tube, Darkvoice would get my vote.
KabirchughI'd recommend Fiio K5 for around $100.

KabirchughI loved mine paired with tube amp. It gives the warmth tubey sound to your HD6XX.
