Hi everyone,
 
Currently I have a Fiio E7, Audio Technica ATH-M50s and I'm thinking about this combo:
- Sennheiser HD600 or 650?
- HRT MusicStreamer II+
- Little Dot MK III
Due to my low bugdet at the moment, I can only buy 1 item at a time, the next one will be 2-3 months.
Can anyone give me some advices on which item I should buy first so I can still use it with my current gear?
 
Thanks

Personally i'd get the new headphones first. Typically the sound improvements will be most noted in the headphones. The HD600 are a great choice, super comfortable and sound great out of the box. The Fiio can power them, especially with high gain now problem. Once you've set aside some cash you can upgrade your dac/amp.
 
I upgraded my Ultrasone Pro 550 to Hifiman HE-400s and once they warmed up it was just blissful, all being powered for now by an E17. Will eventually get a better dac/amp setup, but I definitely found upgrading the headphones to be the best decision at the time.
