I recently got a pair of HD580s cheaply, and I want to make sure I'm getting the most out of them. The only amp I currently have is a Fiio E6. While it is loud enough to listen to through this, i don't know if i'm getting all I can get out of the 580s quality wise.
 
1) Would the Fiio E11 be enough of an upgrade over my E6 to warrant the purchase? Would it fully drive a 300ohm can like these?
 
2) if not, then what would be the most cost effective way to drive the senn's? While i dont expect them to be portable cans, I don't like the idea of having to plug the amp into the wall or anything like that.
 
I'm a broke college kid, so i can't go over $100, and the E11 looks like the best value at the moment...
