Since you're using your computer as your source, the Max Desktop with Max DAC might be the way to go. The Max DAC reclocks the input signal, which should be very beneficial for you if you'll be connecting it to your computer via USB, since USB is very high in jitter. I don't know about the Max vs. balanced home amp sections, though.
If you're going to be spending that much on your headphone setup, I'd spend a little more on your headphones, since headphones make the biggest difference in sound quality. The Edition 9 is my favorite.
