This site might be interesting for you http://www.head-fi.org/. Lots to be learned but like anything you have to filter out what you read as amplification is one of those niche markets that has no end ranging from $40 to multi thousand options. Do some research.

Congrats on the purchase

I can do audio out from my computer into my reciever and still run my headphones off the reciever.

I know with my HD555's my reciever had more than enough power for my linking lol.

Cant wait to try them out
