    DT 880 Pro > HD 558?

    Want to upgrade my HD 558s.  Would the DT 880 pro (250 ohm) be a significant upgrade?  Are they in the same league as the HD 600/650 (which are a little too pricey right now for me)?  I'm aware of the sonic differences between the 880s and the 6xx, I just want to be sure it wouldn't be a lateral...

    Can I bypass the Audioengine D1 amp?

    Meaning if I buy a separate headphone amp (say, the Schiit Magni or the O2) and pair it with the D1 (for more power), will the D1's amp be bypassed?  Will I just be stacking amps?  I just want to use the DAC of the D1 and use the other pure amp to drive the headphones.

    Newbie looking for purchase advice

    I am not a headphone expert but I appreciate good sound and am looking to upgrade from my skull candy in ear phones to something much more substantial.   My price range is $100-$300...maybe more depending on how good the headphones are, but certainly nothing more than $500.  I have an iMac...
