Astell Kern Jr vs Oppo HA 2

Looking for sound quality comparisons between the Astell & Kern Jr and an Oppo HA 2 headphone amp used with the last version of iPod Classic which I already own. Will not be used for travel and the Astell holds enough music for me. Current headphones are Sennheiser HD650 but that could change.

Also interested in any other portable amps that would equal or surpass sound of the AK Jr when used with iPod Classic, similar in price to the Oppo

I purchased the basic AK with 64gb and I'm very happy with it. First time I played it in my car I nearly tossed my iPod out.
I've just purchased an Olive 03hd thing to see how that integrates into my home set up.

I have an Oppo HA-2 and will never part with it. I use it with my Pono, iPod Touch 6th gen 128gb, Sony NW-A45 and A & K 70 MK II. The Oppo HA-2 push's them all to their best. All my headphones sound amazing with it. Wish they did not stop making them.
