These are a great performer, especially once you remove the grills after EQ however, they require insane amount of power my A90 barely keeps up

Nice range of dac/amps here around most budgets that I tried out on this guy. Doesn't really require expensive solutions to get top tier sound out of this guy. Little $30-40 dollar Douk U3 class A amp and a Topping DX1 $99 dac will make you smile. I'm sure whatever DAC you have might work but as you can see, I tried a few with varying results...

Zen Stack - sounds pretty damn good (air dac and air can).
Hifiman EF400 - Was like a match made in heaven?
Ifi iDSD Signature - Bliss
Topping DX1 w/ Liquid Spark - Gets the job done, not too shabby.
Monoprice THX 788 - Excellent, little on the clinical side
Douk U3 + Topping D10s stack - Same as the THX 788, which is inherited from the Topping D10s DAC.
Douk U3 + Zen Dac air stack - Pretty damn good.
Douk U3 + Topping DX1 - *Chefs kiss* perfect.
Apple Dongle - lol, no.
Creative GC7 - Mediocre.
Creative G6 - Was better than the GC7, sounded pretty good but had to give her everything she's got for volume.
Asgard 3 w/ DX1 stack - Pretty damn good
Topping DX3 Pro+ - Boring, move on.
Topping DX1 - Wasn't bad on its own but was better with an amp
Ifi Zen DAC air - Same as Topping DX1
Dragonfly Red - Nope
On-board Realtek on my Alienware - Horrible horrible aids, absolutely terrible.

I'm sure I got some more schiit magni 2 amps laying around here somewhere but I imagine Magni 3+ would be a great fit.

Hifiman Edition XS is a better buy at $499, sounds better and way easier to drive (Magni AMP would work).

Otherwise good luck driving the HE6se v2, though the EF400 DAC/AMP combo could bail you out, that's an extra $599 expense though.

Would a qudelix 5k be enough to drive these?
Should be, yes. Impedance of 50 Ohms is a bit higher than alot of consumer oriented model headphones, but it's still well below most studio/reference oriented headphones that can range from 90-250 Ohms. I would think virtually any external DAC/Amp should be sufficient to provide enough power to drive these.

The hinge and yoke design looks very similar to the HE4XX's, which is to say it's going to fail as mine did less than a year out of warranty, and you're going to be forced to use zip ties to keep the ear cups attached to the head band. I didn't listen to the warnings about HIFIMAN quality at first. But now I know. Avoid unless you can get some sort of extended warranty.
Hifiman has been known to help customers even when out of warranty. You should contact them.
