DAC/AMP for Audeze EL-8 Headphones

[Harvey02]

Hi, I am looking to purchase an amp for my newly acquired Audeze EL-8 headphones.

 

I was looking at getting the FIIO E18 amp, but wasn't sure if it is overkill or even powerful enough.

 

Can someone please give tell me if the E18 would be a good match or recommend me something different?

 

My budget is $150 and i'm open to buying used on ebay.

 

Thanks!

Schiit stack, unless you’re not in the US.

Yeah Schiit Stack. Get the Magni 3 new for $100. And you should be able to grab a used Modi 2 for around $50.

...goes without saying, the Modi2 is powered off ones USB port... @Harvey02 , may I ask about your audio source... Details?
