For people that are still looking for a dac and amp that can power the 6xx, this seems like a pretty nice combo: http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDS-Labs-ODAC-Rev-A-and-FiiO-E09K-Amplifier-/253198643959?hash=item3af3d0b2f7:g:qjwAAOSwAXhZ1urQ Pretty good reviews on Zreview on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSWXAqzNzAQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOfwyyxdXuA

BagelDoughnutAlso found wooden cups for the sennheiser 6xx, https://www.headphile.com/page4.html Guess this could make the 6xx closed... Found a review on it: http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=12331.0 Quite interesting for people looking for something like this

BagelDoughnutIf you want a dac/amp combo and trust Zeos's judgement there's also the Aune X1s , which is apparently his favorite combo unit. Should be powerful enough to drive the 6xx. Also down the line you can add a Aune X7s as a Class A balanced headphone amp and use the X1s as a dac.

X1S Review: " USB and SPDIF and an Analog input. Full RCA PRE OUT. This is MY favorite amp/dac combo. Not the most powerful but a benchmark in sound quality. " - Zeos' Reddit Guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlXW20ptu7E

X7s Review: "Balanced Class A murder wagon. CLEAN. I could remove half the amps in this list because this is just straight better. Bottom mounted gain limiters so you can fine tune. Also features a Pre-out. " - Zeos' Reddit Guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLpI5Ui7TsY

jeffrey_bThe stack of the X7S and X1S makes no sense. Because you are paying $300 for the X1S which is a DAC/AMP and if you are using it only as a DAC for the X7S then there are better choices for DACs. I have the X7S and I order an SDAC for it.
CokemanTo be fair, people usually go with a DAC/Amp combo like the X1S first to get a good setup going without putting a lot of money that they may not have right away. Then when they can scrounge up enough disposable income, then they go for a straight amp. Like me, I went with the Fulla 2 just to get a DAC and amp for half the price of the Schiit stack. Then when I got some more money I could spend on audio, I went and picked up the Magni 2 and used the line out from the Fulla 2 to Magni 2 for a ghetto Schiit stack.
