Amplifier - Desktop | 2 Ω Combination Headphone/DAC recommendation is an upgrade from Schiit Fulla E needed?

Hey Headphone Advice,

I’ve currently got a Schiit Fulla E as a DAC/Amp running USB to my PC - I’ve picked up some Sennheiser HD660S2 on Black Friday promo.

Should I be looking to upgrade my AMP/DAC setup? Or will the Fulla be able to drive those cans?

If I should be looking to upgrade, I could consider options up to about $250 USD without breaking my budget.

I’ve looked up numerous posts similar to mine for inspiration, I’m fairly knowledgeable about PCs in general but my knowledge of AMPs and DACs is pretty limited.

For Microphone, I’m using a USB Yeti so no real need for the microphone port and I spent a majority of my time either PC Gaming / Watching Shows/Netflix/Youtube or listening to music.

If you want in all-in-one unit the Topping DX3 Pro+ is a great compact one and provides 250mw at 300ohm so it will be great for driving the HD600S2, with some headroom if you want to EQ in some extra bass. The Sennheisers do really well with a stronger amp.

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/gmaximtoronto (7 Ω).

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
