My main gear currently are an Ifi Zen DAC and some nice Hifiman 4xx plugged into them.

No matter what, I keep coming back to these two. I have other gear, not this is the one that pleases me the most. It is not my endgoal, but it’s superb to my ears.

    Sennheiser 660s2 paired with an ifi Hip DAC2 Gold edition is my daily setup. Very happy with it. I also have mobile setups, buds 2 pro or a set of porta pro with yaxis fed off a btr5.

    Bluesound Node to Topping E30 to L30ll on main setup. PC to Schiit Modi 2 to Magni 3 on secondary. HD 650 and HD 6XX, depending on what’s closest. Fiio KA5 on iOS devices with either of the above headphones or Momentum 2.0, depending on mood. I have a pair of HD 660S2 coming tomorrow. It never ends.

        I got the MassDrop 6XX for Christmas a couple of years ago and heard they were basically a 650. When a great used deal came up on the real thing, I grabbed it to do some A/B comparisons. Yep. LOL. Pretty much the same.

    HD560s + FiiO K5 Pro.

    Been an amazing setup, but am looking for a neutral-bright headphone to replace the 560s. Could’ve been the Ananda V2 but I had QC issues with 2 seperate units within a few weeks of use.

    Topping e50 single end -> Fosi tube amp -> Magnius / Topping e50 balanced -> Magnius. Edifier MR4 and headphones run off the balanced outputs on the Magnius. One button switches between SE and balanced input and the Fosi has bass and treble controls.

    LCD-4 with Qudelix 5K or Singxer SA-1 when I stationary.

    Got HD-800S recently and running them with 5K, however, still like LCD-4 better.

      LCD-4 have a great balance between resolution and soundstage (HD-800S is more focused on soundstage/imaging). And a different tuning. So definitely reasons to prefer it.

    I’m just starting out but I have a Sennheiser HD660S and Fiio Jade Audio Q11 that I’m enjoying.

    Started with Drop Sennheiser HD58X and Fiio BTR5

    Connected to iPhone 14 Pro Max and using Apple Music.

    FiiO FH7 and DX240. I’m sure I’ll buy more stuff in the future but I’d be fine if that was the last setup I ever listened to
