AMP/DAC combo recommendation for Sennheiser HD650

[Deleted member 6647]

I ordered a pair of Sennheiser HD650s and I am wondering if it's best to get a Topping NX4 or Dacport HD to drive them. Portability is a factor (maybe the Topping isn't great for commuting), but because I will not have my Denon receiver for a year (I am not sure even if it was suitable for these headphones) I was thinking of maybe getting the Dacport HD and then something more powerful for home. I am afraid that the Topping would be more than enough so that I will not get anything better! How much more powerful and verstaile is the topping than the Dacport? Any other suggestions are welcome!

Both r good. Topping NX4 has battery, that will be good, it won't drain your phone/tablet as much, you can glue/Velcro it to the back of phone or tablet. DACport HD is more expensive and has no battery.

I'm using the NX4 with HD6XX's and its quite good.

The NX4 is on massdrop right now.
