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?

    Have you tried EQing them? I have the LCD-2Cs and I bought a Woo Audio WA7D Fireflies tube amp with the extra WA7TP tube power source. They sounded better than when running through my receiver. It just wasn’t quite enough, though.

    I finally tried using Oratory1990’s Harmon target EQ preset for my LCD-2Cs. It was like one of those movie scenes where the light shined out of the clouds in those crepuscular rays (God rays for you Skyrim fans). It hit me right in the top of my head and I was floating on a cloud.

    Try this out first before spending any more money.
