well done mate!

and congratz on your new headphones, just wait until you jaw will drop on the floor. I was about to suggest you to go for the denons and you just made the right decision and went for the upscale D5000 model. get a nice amp for them to enjoy their full potential, THEY NEED IT.

QFT. No way can you take those into a library.

I would go with closed or IEMs.

It is a DAC as well. The combination with Earth HDAM and Neutral jumper setting is quite pleasing.

Where did you end up buying your headphones from?

Let us know how the cans and amp/dac go together!

I would give Ultrasone PRO750 a try. They are fantastic cans IMO - great deep and very punchy bass, accurate mids and sparkly treble + tons of detail. They sound great even unamped.
