Thanks for the input guys, appreciate it. I'll go ahead and place an order for the Draug 3. Sounds like it will be worth the wait. I also wasn't impressed with the LQi. It's nice but I feel these cans deserve better.

Thanks for the Norne vote. I also like the look of their cables, especially the black transparent versions. I also read that copper is better due to the treble. Now I'm wondering if a full copper cable will still be best since I plan on using the headphones with an equalizer. Would a silver...

Need a new cable for my HE6se headphones and the Norne cables are ones I am considering. Also thinking about DHC. I was wondering if I would notice a difference in the Draug 3 vs the Volsund. Which cable would be better if I wanted the best bass from the HE6se? Thanks

Thanks for all the help and the suggestions. Got a Jot for a temporary all-in-one solution while I look for a better amp. It sounds better than my HD650s already so I'm excited that it's just going to get better from here :) I'm on the hunt for a speaker amp now. What cables are you guys...

Adcom GFA-545, 555 and 5500. Thinking of buying a used one of these. Think I would notice a difference between them? What dac and preamps are you guys using in your setups? Any good ones that are both a dac and preamp or do I need to get them separate?

Thinking of pulling the trigger on a Jot and was wondering if I would even be able to tell the difference between the internal multibit dac, the AK one or an external multibit/ak dac. I'm not a professional audio engineer or anything so I dont really have trained ears. I'm just trying to get...

Thanks for the idea, sounds interesting. I'll definitely consider it. Actually, it's rather appealing since I can also use the amp for speakers in the future. Your setup looks awesome, I would love to have something like that eventually. Any specific suggestions besides the ones in your...

TLDR: What's the best setup for $1-2k that gives the best bass from the HE6se I'm looking for a headphone amp/dac that's a good match for my new HE6se headphones that arrive today. Originally I was going to buy a new Bifrost and Jotunheim from Schiit. Then I read a speaker amp would be better...

The TLDR: What's the best setup for HE6se for less than $1k? Best for around $2k? Fell down a rabbit hole and I need help getting out. I'm looking for a headphone amp/dac that's a good match for my new HE6se headphones. I thought I knew what I wanted to power them but after further research...
