HE6se V2 Amplifier recommendations in the $150-$300 Range

[Jamesj562]

After using Sundara’s for about a week I came across HE6se V2 for $550 new. I bought them as most people suggested that they were a superior performing headphone.

What is everyone’s preferred amp for this I would like to keep it under $350ish USD preferably in the $180-250 range if possible. Balanced would be a plus but not critical. After about an hour of searching the thx789 seemed like a good fit. How about the topping a50s or schitt Magnius? Thank you all for helping me out, and apologies if this is a more obvious question than I am interpreting.

You'll need a fairly powerful amp.
I have a pair of these phones and currently drive them using RME ADI-2 DAC, but i want to experiment with more amps.
I just ordered a Schiit Jotunheim 2 - because i read in various places that it is a good combination. But that is just outside of your budget (and double your ideal budget). I expect it will be 6-8 weeks before i can give my opinion on that combination,'cause Schiit is struggling to make these fast enough.
There is the topping A30pro, and I heard that some people preferred that to the more expensive topping A90.

Drop thx 789 if its on for $200 again. No brainer.

Schiit Magnius in balanced mode is solid.
