    Hi guys,
    I have purchased Sennheiser hd650 headphones which are rated at 300 ohms. I am currently driving them out of the headphone output of an Onkyo Cs5vl CD player but a few people have told me they will sound much better with a dedicated headphone amp. My main amp is a YAmaha AS500.
    I would appreciate any advice and are there any products in particular you would recommend (keeping the recession in mind!).
    As always thanks,
    Willie.

    Willie,

    apologies for the delay - if you want them to sing - I'd have a look at this:
    http://www.richersounds.com/product/dacs/teac/ud-h01/teac-udh01

    The UDH01 is a pretty serious bit of kit - and thats a clearance price but we are down to our last display one - I'll clear it at a further discount of £10 to make it £139.95 and seriously thats a cracking price ..
