I'm thinking about selling my HiFiMan HE500's and getting some Grado Rs1i's.  I feel like the HE500's sound too much like my Sen HD650's.  Is this a lateral move/move down?  I'm looking for something a bit different.

I've been listening to my HiFiMan HE 500's with a Schiit Lyr.  Do you think Grado Rs1i would also be a good pairing for the amp?

Quote:   It would be really convenient if the Schiit amps had a USB DAC also.  If I'm using a laptop, what's the best route for input into these amps?
