I use a Naim Headline (£425) with mine but you need a power supply such as a NAPSC (£325), as a minimum, or a HiCap (£1900) as well. Have a look at TomTom Audio for 'pre-loved' bargins. The GS1000i headphones work beautifully with Naim, plenty of 'Pace, Rythm And Timing'. In my opinion you need first class source files (CD quality minimum) to make them shine.

I run my GS1000i's on the Bryston BHA-1 headphone amp, it really does make the PS's sing, it doesn't hurt that Bryston used the GS1000i's and PS1000's as their main headphones when developing the BHA-1.

As Cutlass also recommends, the naim Headline works well as does the Naim DAC-V1 which is a fantastic headamp/Dac combo.

All definately worth demoing.

Sorry just seen the price bracket you are looking in, at that level the Heed Canamp is well worth a try, very well regarded and definately drives the GS's very well.

Note to self, must read question 100% before starting reply, doh
