Hi, im not that deep into this hobby. Infact this will be my only headphones and would probably get an iem after, and thats it.

With that, which amp would you recommend to optimally drive the 600ohms dt880 under 250usd aside from the s-amp? i would like to get suggestion for a tube and a solid state, and go from there.

Man, thanks for the reply but sorry i dont understand.

I made this post because a guy on youtube said that the 600ohm dt880s does not need more than 100mW @600ohm and that it's more on output impedance matching where the 880s require a 100ohm output impedance match.

So im looking for Amps that has this specification or would closely perform like it. So far, i only found the Bottlehead Crack which is rated 120ohms of output impedance, but it's at 349usd. I'd like to keep my budget under 250.

400mw at600 is just something i madeup to be an example. To put a better example there is the topping L50 rated 290mW @600ohm but only has <0.1ohm output impedance. How would that compare to something like the HA400 rated 40mW @100ohm but has 80ohm output impedance, and versus the Samsom S-AMP rated at 100ohm output impedance? these 2 only has a 1/4 TRS input in them
