Amp recommendations for Hifiman HE1000 V2

I am looking for some recommendations regarding an AMP to pair with the HE1000 V2. I tend to lean slightly to a neutral, warm presentation. I know folks love the Liquid Platinum and Topping A90 for the Arya. Not sure if these translate well to the HE1000 V2.

Thanks everyone.

I use the HeadAmp GSX Mk2 to drive my HE1000 V1.

As @pastorbob points out, the DAC fronting your amp/pre will be critical to overall synergy, balance, etc.

I was think about the aluminum X1 as my streamer/DAC. Any thoughts on this pairing?

Are you considering running your 1000 V2 direct from the Lumin X1's XLR / RCA outs?

No, lumin into amp as a balanced XLR, then amp out to the headphone.
