I primarily listen to EDM (ie Deadmau5, Overwerk) with a mix of bass and nice layered trance-type stuff. Prefer the bass and isolation of closed-back headphones. After some reading I went with the Fostex TH-900mk2 headphones.

I stream off amazon music HD with this for highest bitrate (supposedly).

Current setup:
Headphones: Fostex TH-900mk2
DAC/Amp: Denon AVR-S660H

I think this sounds OK, but before spending any big money curious on thoughts if upgrading to a dedicated DAC/AMP combo would make a difference, or if there are any notable chokepoints in this minimal setup. Thanks!

Any dedicated dac amp will be an improvement over using the headphone out on a receiver imo
