Hello, fellow audio lovers. I am very new to this and I just bought a pair of Massdrop Hd 6xx headphones, and I know I have to pair them to get the best out of them. I have a little bit over 100 dollars left to buy an amp. I can only get one what would you recommend.

My recommendation would be that you try your onboard audio first.

An amp isn't always necessary.

I'm going to say no considering these things are 300 ohm headphones. Yea it'll still work, but you'll be running these at maximum volume all of the time and still might not be loud enough or sound that amazing for that matter.
