Now I can spend money on expensive gear, but I'm not rich so I want to be sure that my money is well spent. Should I spend $1xxx on a DAC/Amp (DA11, m902, Corda Symphony)? Should I spend $2500! on the Isabellina? Is Isabellina so much better than the others?

I have the HD650 but I'd like to try the HD800 and also the K701.
