Any recommendations on cheap headphone amps? Schitt and Topping units are popular. Any other good options?

Topping.  Schitt is overpriced now that they have hype.

Schiit Fulla is affordable and you can plug in your speakers too.

The Constitution is a secular document that created a secular government.
Thomas Jefferson — in an actual quote — wrote in 1802 that our First Amendment built “a wall of separation between church and state.”
In 1797, John Adams agreed: “The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion.”

I have a Topping NX1s that has treated me well for the past 6 years, portable option that I now use at my desk when I'm running my IEMs.

I have a schiit magni/modi stack and it sounds quite good to me, but honestly there are probably better options. I was mostly in it for the DAC, and the headphone amp was a surprise gift.
