I've been told that I need to upgrade my DAC and AMP, but more on upgrading my AMP. I have a THX 789 and an SMSL SU-8 DAC.
I guess my higher-impedance headphones like the ZMF Aeolus and Sennheiser HD 600 could use more power. I also recently bought the Sony MDR-Z1R and Fostex TH900 MK2 and feel that my current set-up does not do them justice. I think it can sound even better with a cleaner DAC and more power.
These are the current DAC/AMP combos offered at my local audiophile shops.
