What are some good cheap headphone amps in the like 0-70 range

I don't think that there are good ones in that price range. But I also don't have that much clue about audio.

Every modern motherboard has already an amp build in, so I don't think you actually need one.

Which headphones do you want to use?

Are your headphones not driven loud enough or are you trying to get rid of static? There are different solutions for each one of those.

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

There is a free one on your motherboard, free as in you already paid for it.

But don't they improve detail and soundstage, plus 10dB bass?

This is why I don't watch Logan as much anymore, and especially take with a grain of salt his audio videos.  Please for the love of god don't just follow blindly what one person says.

You think the average person is capable of independent original thought?

With the amount of people going to college in the US, I wish that were the case.
