Amps for Joseph Audio Pulsar 2's?
Nice speakers.  What amp are you using now, and what would you like to improve upon?  What aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you?  Also, what’s your budget limit?

Headphones are cutting in and out. Trying to determine if it is the cable or the cans?
Sounds like a connection or cable issue.  Clean all your connections and see if that helps, and if not try another cable.   
Pls suggest Amp and other equipment for my streaming set-up.
What’s your budget, and what sound characteristics are you looking for? 
Suggestions for solid state balanced linestage with remote, $2000 or less
The Ayre mentioned above seems like a really good choice given what you’re looking for.  I’d also mention a Pass Labs XP10 available on US Audio Mart that may also be worth considering.  Best of luck.
