Nah, I normally use Foobar, but today I've been messing around with iTunes trying to get my sister's old iPod setup. She has already refused to let me Rockbox it .

They don't need an amp, but an amp could help them sound better.

as namrac said you don't need an amp, but you'll get fuller, tighter bass with an amp.

The amp will be money well spent. You won't understand fully until you put your "amped" cans on your head for the first time.

An amp will definitely help the HD555's (and the HD595's for that sake)

I realised that after borrowing a bigger amp from my dad (the old one was a mini-stereo) - which also helped some of the noise on my speakers - though I still have that stupid 60hz buzz WTB earthed connections.
