Need help picking a Headphone amp.

I recently purchased a Westone 2 IE phone and I love the sound that comes out. I have become so hooked listening to it, that I know want to purchase a headphone and amp for my home system. I am looking to purchase the Sennheiser HD598.

I want a really good amp, but I don't want to spend more than $400. I am looking at the PS Audio GCHA, Headroom brand, and Project Box II. Can anyone help put me in the right direction?

Thanks,
matt00

You should also post on Head-Fi - lots of great info over there.

One recommendation you might not have thought of is a portable amp. Some of the best portables will drive Sennheisers very well and you could get double duty with your Westone 2 IEs. I find all IEMs benefit from amping the signal from your iPod, Zune, etc.

Look at Practical Devices XM6 (includes a DAC), Ray Samuels Audio SR-71A (amp only), or iBasso PB1, among alot of great choices.

Good luck.
