My main gear currently are an Ifi Zen DAC and some nice Hifiman 4xx plugged into them.
No matter what, I keep coming back to these two. I have other gear, not this is the one that pleases me the most. It is not my endgoal, but it’s superb to my ears.
Fiio k7 - > ananda stealth 4.4 / M1060 Topping l30 + Thx AAA One - > Grado 325x Topping d10s - > SS-1 - > Koss 95X
Campfire andromeda with fiio btr3 mostly. For desk setup I still use Modi 2U / Asgard 2 with hd6xx or fostex th-x00.
Focal Utopia and a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 x)
Schiit Midgard with a Modius E and HD 660S. Been really digging it!

My main is a 1990 BeyerDynamic its the best headphone i owned and its hard to look at other after using them from an overall view and just the comfort
HD800S with a Topping Dx7 Pro is my main runner
I’ve had the pleasure of trying the HD800S and I loved them for certain types of music. But I couldn’t see myself using them daily. Maybe for gaming. But I fear they’d end up hanging on the wall as an art piece. Which they sort of are.
Sennheiser 660s2 paired with an ifi Hip DAC2 Gold edition is my daily setup. Very happy with it. I also have mobile setups, buds 2 pro or a set of porta pro with yaxis fed off a btr5.
pc38x with apple dongle lol
My current setup: JDS Atom Amp+ HEVI and Philips Fidelio SHP9600. I’m waiting for the Sennheiser HD 600 and HD 560S to be delivered. The 560 is a gift for someone else. I was disappointed that the Audio-Technica ATH-R70x did not go on sale for BF or CM.
Bluesound Node to Topping E30 to L30ll on main setup. PC to Schiit Modi 2 to Magni 3 on secondary. HD 650 and HD 6XX, depending on what’s closest. Fiio KA5 on iOS devices with either of the above headphones or Momentum 2.0, depending on mood. I have a pair of HD 660S2 coming tomorrow. It never ends.
I must ask why do you have 650’s and 6xx’s
I got the MassDrop 6XX for Christmas a couple of years ago and heard they were basically a 650. When a great used deal came up on the real thing, I grabbed it to do some A/B comparisons. Yep. LOL. Pretty much the same.
HD560s + FiiO K5 Pro.
Been an amazing setup, but am looking for a neutral-bright headphone to replace the 560s. Could’ve been the Ananda V2 but I had QC issues with 2 seperate units within a few weeks of use.
Ah the dreaded Hifiman QC. I’m waiting for the day my 4xx’s break. Not looking forward to it.
560s with fog city balance 5ft with 9inch rt angel union on a K7 mounted under my desk
LCD-4 with Qudelix 5K or Singxer SA-1 when I stationary.
Got HD-800S recently and running them with 5K, however, still like LCD-4 better.
LCD-4 have a great balance between resolution and soundstage (HD-800S is more focused on soundstage/imaging). And a different tuning. So definitely reasons to prefer it.
HD600 and ex800st. Macbook. Apple dongle.
