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!

    Looks like they are 25 Ohms. Any decent headphone amp should be able to drive these including the one in your AVR. You might see slight improvement in bass with a better HP amp.
