Hello, I am getting HD650 this week (thanks to a deal at my workplace) and I understand that an amp is necessary to run them to their full potential.
I have a few questions, as I'm clearly not fully understand everything here. I've done some research without too much results. I just feel that the audiophile market is not well documented, and in the end it's big on opinions.
I want to use it on my computer. From what I read, a DAC is nice but not necessary, and an amp will give me the best results. Is this right?
I'm having problem finding exactly what I need, and it needs to be available in Canada (customs suck..). Are there Amp/DACs combo worth it? Are there some amps that are "too cheap" to run 300 ohm HD650? If so, how much should I be spending? I don't really want to spend more than 150$.
Thanks
