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.

Quote from Saiyadjinn :
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.
