    Why do you need a high-end Amp?

    Is there a High-end Koss KPH30i?

    I have a pair of Koss KPH30i headphones and I find that this style of headphone is the most comfortable for me. It is better than something that goes in my ears or surrounds my ears. I am wondering if there is a high-end head phone with a similar design that just sits on my ears. My budget is $1k.

    Audio Quest Dragon Fly Cobalt vs Topping D50?

    If I listen to Tidal from my computer to my headphone amp and headphones which one of these would be better? I know the Cobalt does MQA, though I am not sure I would be able to hear the difference. The Topping D50 does high resolution audio.

    Shure SE215 or Sony XBA-4IP for use with iPhone 5?

    I am looking at the Shure SE215 and Sony XBA-4IP to use with my iPhone 5 and I am unsure if the Sony would be suitable for that with its low impedance.  Which one would be preferable?   I listen mostly to pop music with Spotify's extreme sound quality.  The cost is more or less the same which is...
