    What is wrong with the system or what did I do wrong?

    What is wrong with the system or what did I do wrong?

    Hey guys, I am planning on buying a Monolith Liquid Spark Amp for my headphones, the Hifiman HE-400i 2016 model. I am also going to buy a dac.

    Sundara, HD660S or Aeon RT?

    I currently have HE400i and T50RP with home done mayflower mod and with the T50RP flat and Amir's EQ on the HE400i, I love them both but especially the 400i. I'm looking at buying something better in the next few months and currently looking at the Sundara, the HD660S and Dan Clark Aeon RT Open...
