Current desktop setup......
Headphone amp setup (PI4(piCorePlayer) --> Khadas Tone Board --> Magni Heresy --> Hifiman HE4xx)
Board - Raspberry Pi 4
Case - Flirc Raspberry Pi 4 Case (Kodi Edition)
DAC - Khadas Tone Board/Clear Acrylic Case for Tone Board
Power - CanaKit Raspberry Pi 4 Power Supply (USB-C)
OS - PiCorePlayer

Any recommendations on improvement in this setup? I can't say there is really anything wrong with the setup.
Any improvements by getting a different headphone amp though I know this one is recommended alot.

Dac wise I seem to prefer the ESS dacs so could I get improvements by changing out the dac?

Price point would be 200-300.

Thanks

Enjoy your system. You have a great setup, especially the headphone amp. If you want to try new headphones go for it; but that would be “different”, and only your personally preference as to whether or not it would be better. And to the extent that you EQ your headphones you may not detect much difference.
