I would say listen to MisterX, he built my PPA and it is incredible. I would say that he is the most knowledgeable person about headphone amps on this froum.

Unless you want to commission someone to build you a Pimeta, yes. You can probably price out a Pimeta that's around $75, and then a $25 builder's fee. They can priced all the way up to $150 or more though. That's about how much mine ran, but I used stacked buffers and higher quality parts throughout.

Mr. X knows his stuff.



and the fact that you list Bose Triports in your sig discredits your ethos...

meh, good enough reason.



But to the OP - see if you can have someone build a PPA for you. I listened to my roommate's using my Shure E4's and I was amazed what it did for the sound.
 
a LDM+ is a good choice as well. You can pick them up used for around $50 or new off ebay for about $70 shipped. they have a very neutral sound that has great syngery with Senns (hd595 specifically) and has long battery life. I've had mine for almost 3 months and have only charged it once, and it gets almost daily use!
