So, I guess this wouldn't be the best DAP to choose for my Sennheiser HD 650 if I didn't also want to have to carry a separate amp? Most of the time I just use my Noble 3 universal IEMs, but sometimes I like to crank it into my HD 650s for that more visceral bass feel. I need to find a DAP to replace my LG V10 as a music player before it finally croaks. I can't afford to buy a thousand dollar upgrade phone that won't let me replace the battery after it stops taking a full charge in a year.

TipsyMacScotchslurpenThe HD 650s are not what most would consider a headphone that one would use when out and about town. Portable hi-res players are designed to be used when away from home therefore iems, or more portable headphones with low ohms would be a better choice. The Cayin would still work at home but if you want the best from your 650s you'll need a boost. I use the Fiio Aspen and it works very well. There are many others that'll do the trick also.
AudioJetYeah, I'm just sad no one seems to make an all-in-one DAP/amp to cover high impedence studio headphones and notoriously-power-hungry planar magnetics. Truthfully I haven't put a lot of time into digging through specs on all of the DAPs out there, but I get a little bit disheartened every time I see a DAP that wouldn't be able to handle my HD 650s as well as my phone has.

TipsyMacScotchslurpenThe player handles 20 to 300 Ohm that means most HP will be ok
