One restriction is the budget which is short, no more than 200 bucks. Is that posible?
Forgot to say that my headphones are a pair of Hifiman HE400i.
I was seing this for example:
If you can afford to spend another $49 for a total of $249, the Schiit Asgard 2 is a Class A headphone amp that not only sounds fantastic for the money but will also drive your 93dB efficient HE400i with absolute ease, having 1W of headroom reserve to bring out the very best of them. Try to find something better, I doubt you will. With a Class A, solid state amp, you will not have to worry about tube noise and spending money on tubes. It is reliable and a smooth sounding solid state amp.
