Audio-GD NFB-11/28, Schiit Jotunheim (particularly through the balanced connection), Bottlehead Crack and Schiit Valhalla 2 seem very good for them.
With the Sennheiser HD 600/650 you always want quite a lot of juice, so cheaping out on the amp is not something you'd want - if you want to save a bit on the amp, the K7XX will probably make for a better semi-budget option, but these do look cool.

RevannaAny idea how the NFB-11 compares to the Jotunheim w/DAC card? Looking at those two for an upgrade. (My current dac/amp is an aging NFB-12 - 24Bit / 96KHz WM8741 model)

djchupThe Jotunheim DAC add-on is just a standard Modi 2 afaik, so I wouldn't recommend getting that in any circumstance really - if you want to stick with Schiit, get a Modi 2 Uber or Multibit for the DAC.
The good thing about the NFB-11 is that it's both a really good Sabre DAC implementation as well as a strong amp, for a very competitive price point ($400 with upgrades and shipping iirc).
I'd generally recommend to go for the AGD unless you really want the made in US/local support (if you happen to live in the US that is - in the Europes, we have a few AGD retailers that do repair at their own places).

Revannathe jotunheim dac add-on uses 2x AK4490 (as in Modi 2 Uber). Thanks for your reply, I'll probably end up going AGD I think
