I have the Sennheiser HD600, Neumann NDH-30, Audeze LCD-X.

I use these with my SSL2 hp out, and with Qudelix 5K.

I spoke to someone about my impressions and his first question was: which dac/amp? and when I told, he just winked.

So my question is: is the difference this obvious with a more expensive dac/amp combo? Should I spend another 6-800 euro to get one? Do your headphones open up/perform that much better?

    I have the audeze mm100’s and the ath r70x, I use a behringer 2x2 interface for listening and gaming on pc. I was curious if it was a weak point. So I got the audient id14 interface that claimed to have a “better” dedicated headphone amp. I spent hours listening to both and could not notice any improvement whatsoever. My weak point is not having a ground loop isolator for the interface but that only affects the microphone. It’s on its way right now. Just my experience.
