Like some others I did not enjoy headphone listening nearly to the extent of speakers. And although I still much prefer speakers I purchased a pair of 660S and the DX7Pro and the combo is really enjoyable. I wouldn't bother with headphones at all except that my wife does not see the point of 80+db listening
My source is Spotify via Node 2i, digital out. Hell, even the Bluetooth route in the DX7Pro sounds great. But I digress, of course now that I like this setup I want to make it better and would appreciate advice/experience of others here. I can:
Buy the DAC3B/HPA4 combo and/or
Buy better headphones e.g. Senn 800S or other?
Although budget is not limiting the above options are a lot of $$ for what I suspect will be little gain. Worth it?
My bias is that the better (or just different?) headphones would be the most bang for the buck. The DX7Pro performs so well in Amir's testing that I doubt I could hear a difference compared to the HPA4, but of course I want one just because
