So I got these for christmas and I have been enjoying them so much, but I want to know how to make them sound even better than they do now. So what equipment should I get to achieve that effect, I'm running them through my Ipod and laptop.

Probably better to get an amp/dac first, cause most higher end headphones need them. :D
Which would you recommend?

Between an amp or a dac, or between amp/dac or some better cans?
For amp or dac doesnt matter really, but better if u get both
And its definitely better to get an amp/dac b4 some better cans
I guess I just need a portable amp. Since it might be going on the road with me, and running through my laptop. So whats the best bet for that

I'm really enjoying my Headroom Total Bithead, it's a combination amp and DAC and works really well for me.. Not sure how much the M50 would improve with an amp though.
