+ 1 on the auralic. I have this headphone amp plus the Altair, DAC/streamer, and find it to be a great combo. Liquid sounding without being rolled off. Perfect bedside stand combo, without breaking the bank. I listen to them with the sennheiser 800s (which you can find pretty cheap now) and they sound great. Not mind numbing great, but perfect for bed time listening at a reasonable price. I tried the headphones with just the headphone jack out of the Altair and it didn't cut it.
