Hello!
I have the Custom one pro plus headphones, which are 15 ohm. my question is what amp/dac should i get for them. my budget is less than 200 dollars.

Cheers!
 
15 ohm isnt hard to power.
But if you really wanted to take it up a notch, id have to reccomend:
Fiio E6 AMP

Its a cheap amp (Round 27$) but it will easily take your headphones
above and beyond.

But since its only 15 ohms i have do say to not get an amp at all.
 
Like others suggested, Driving it is not an issue. Very easy to power them.
However, as a DAC there are many out there. If you want better quality, bass boost, treble...a DAC is definitely a huge bonus. The DSP's coming from handheld devices are allright. The DAC's have much better DSP. I would certainly try one.

Here are a couple you can check out.
