I am looking into buying these headphones but I would like to know of a budget dac/amp I can run with these. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Budget is relative but outside of Drop check out Schitt or Topping

I wouldn't spend more than $100 on a dac and I wouldn't spend more than $100 on an amp. I recommend the grace sdac but it's out of stock https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-grace-design-standard-dac. Either way amps and dacs are 100% solved technology, any differences are well below the audible threshold. Talking about equipment that "pairs well" is a lie unless you buy something so bad it actually changes the audio signal. Google for "<product> audiosciencereview" and use Audio Science Review's evaluation of equipment if you are choosing between them. Aim for a smaller form factor, there's no reason to have something bigger than the objective2 amp here on drop. I have that one and mount it under my desk. Obviously stay away from tube amps, which intentionally reduce audio fidelity.

dm94aq7I was truly surprised what a good review that the Topping DX3 Pro+ got from ASR (Amir himself). DAC/amp conts down on clutter, multiple inputs, and a remote, hard to beat.

What's your budget and do you want a portable solution or a fixed desktop setup?

Thank you so much! This was very useful. I will get to research a little more about all this equipment and when I've made my decision I let you know. Thank you once again for going out of your way for helping a newcomer out.
