Drop Card Amp Suitable for High-End HE5XX Audio?

I just purchased the Drop + HiFiMan HE5XX headphones and am looking for a good DAC amp to enhance their sound quality. Can anyone recommend a card-based solution that works well with these headphones?

I recently got a Drop + HiFiMan HE5XX as well and used the Schiit Modi 3 combo with great success. It provides good power output, sound quality, and is relatively affordable.

The Drop + HiFiMan HE5XX headphones have an impedance of 18 ohms, SPL of 93.5 dB/mW, and a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. If you're looking for a card-based DAC amp that works well with these headphones, I'd recommend checking out the TechReviewer article Best DACs With Amps for Drop + HiFiMan HE5XX Headphones. It discusses various DAC amps and their compatibility with different headphones.

Thanks for the suggestions! The Modi 3 combo sounds interesting, but I was specifically looking for a card-based solution since my setup already includes other cards. Do you know of any card-based DAC amp that works well with the HE5XX?

I've been using a card-based DAC amp called the JDS Labs MOGO with my Drop + HiFiMan HE5XX headphones, and I'm quite happy with the results. It offers good sound quality and is relatively compact, making it suitable for portable setups.

That's great to know! The MOGO seems like a good option for me as well. Thanks for the recommendation!
