I'm not sure what the output power requirement is for it but I run a panda stack (without the lps because mine took a power hit and I can't find a replacement) which you probably won't be able to find anymore but if you did I would recommend without hesitation. I use it for my mid tier headphones that need that extra push. I us the SMSL SAP-9 for my 1More over ear, and the Sennheiser GSX 1000 which i feed into a multi out Behringer Micro amp HA400 for my Takstar 82, 598 SE and other below mid tiers with great results especially since I can use the presets on the GSX 1000 to tweak the audio. I think you could pick any of those and have great success with it. One note, the feed to my SAP 9 starts at the SMSL Sanskrit PRO-B DAC, Goes to my Aune X7S (I use my higher end headphones with that one) then feed out through the pre out to the SAP 9. I know it sounds confusing so to simplify, the power to drive my mid tiers comes from the Sap, you can hook up any DAC to it. If the HIFIMAN HE4XX does balanced you can run XLR to the SAP-9 as well because the 1/4 inch and the XLR are both balanced, if your into that. Everything is on amazon so you can get it pretty quick, the cost from least to most is Behringer $25, SAP-9 $100, SMSL Sanskrit roughly $150 (if you can find it), GSX 1000 $200, and if your thinking something like the Aune X7S, they are kinda scarce as well and usually run about $300 or so dollars. If all you are using is the 4XX I would say try the Behringer, it is very inexpensive and you can connect up to 4 headphones to it. I am only guessing but I don't think they would require anymore power then the 598 SE or Bdyn DT770 pro that I have hooked up to it at the same time with no appreciable cost to power. If worst comes to worst you keep it on your desk and feed it from another amp for more power and you can still have more than one headphone running if you have someone with you or are changing genres and want to listen using a different pair. Hope that helps.
