I have the following amps/dacs
 
Shanling PH100
Matrix M-stage
Matrix i-mini
Aune
Yulong DAH-1 Mark
Beresford 7510 mk6/4
Edifier
Marantz PM17 Ki Sig
 
Dacs
 
Xindak dac 5
Cambridge DacMagic Azur (latest version)
Keces 131.1
Cambridge original dacmagic
 
Headphones
Denon ah-d5000
Audio Technica w5000
Sony Sa5000
Beyer Dt990 pro (280ohm)
Shure in ear monitors (can't remember the model)
and some older sony's - too lazy to look for the model number and can't remember off hand.
 
 
I don't mind doing some comparison reviewing if you want to know my opinions ears are almost 49 years old
 
I have tried
Yulong d100 - died after 1 hour
Shanling PH300 - didn't like my AT W5000 hissy between the music although didn't intrude into the music
Creative 0404 - didn't work well with my pc
tag Mclaren pa20 (with class A headphone amp)
 
plus lots of older stuff
 
 
I enjoy all my headphones but at present my favourite headphone is the Denon AH-D5000 I just enjoy using these more than any of the others it is not the purest but the combination of comfort (most important factor for a headphone) and musicality makes it number one.

DacMagic vs. Matrix i vs. Beresford would be interesting
 
DAC sections only, seeing as how DM has no amp
Also, the DM and Matrix are the only cheapish balanced DACs I can think of besides the LittleDotDAC
