Ear pads for Audio Technica A550Z
Just got these new headphones, looking for ear pads that better for the ears than the stock pads. I like ear pads like the ZMF Suede ear pads that I got for my HE-400i's. Looking for a cheaper option.- Newtothis142

ifi Nano idsd portable dac vs the TA-01 with golden lion tube.
The Nano BL doesn't give as much power as the TA-01 but I've heard that the Nano competes with the mojo in sound. The golden lion tube is said to drastically increase the quality of the ta-01 which also has the cs4398(I think) dual dac.- Newtothis142

Would the Monoprice USB/DAC be able to power the HE-400i.
Question is the title. Would it be able to power them or should I get something like the TA-01 and a golden lion tube?- Newtothis142

How Do Balanced DACs work.
I see a Schiit Jotunheim with a balanced DAC module, but I don't know how the module works. Does it work for the normal headphone jack. I.E Would it affect the sound going into my Hifiman HE-400i's? Should I pick the Jotunheim with the DAC module for $400 over a Topping D30 and A30 for $190?- Newtothis142

New Headphones vs New DAC/Amp
I have a HE-400i and want a HE-400S, but I also want a new dac/amp. Which one should I get. The 400S is about 230$ and the DAC/Amp is the ifi Nano DSD which is 199.99$. Which one should I go for? I can only get one of them and it'll be a while until I can get something at the same price point of...- Newtothis142

Trying to upgrade or sidestep from my HE-400i's.
Most of the problems would probably rest on the limitations of the dac, but I also feel that the HE-400i has an unnaturalness in voices and I was wondering if the 400S do better in that department? Just adding something in, are the HD 700's worth the 400-500$? Or would I be better off with the...- Newtothis142

Trying to upgrade or sidestep from my HE-400i's.
Would it be better at this point to just get a higher quality dac?- Newtothis142

Trying to upgrade or sidestep from my HE-400i's.
I want to either upgrade my HE-400i to the HE-400S or get a K7XX or HD 6XX. Getting the Sennheisers or AKG would be more costly because I would need to get a new DAC/AMP for them. What should I get and is it worth the price to change to the Sennheisers or AKG? I mainly game and listen to music.- Newtothis142

I have a Hifiman HE-400i and want to get some better music out of it. I am currently using an Asus Xonar DGX(30$) and want a better dac/amp.
