the most revealing chain is
Violectric V800 DAC --> HPBA-2-S Amp --> Sennheiser's HD800
mytek 96 dac is sonically inferior compared to the Violectric.
Don't use the hd650 because it tends to forgive or hide flaws in the recording.
This is not good for mixing or mastering.
If you don't want to buy an hd800 you can use and hd600 with both internal and external foams removed from the drivers.
here you can see how to do it:

Please note that hd600 has a great benefit to be driven balanced.
So use a balanced silver cable with the hpba2s
I've mastered more than a record using my daw and the hd600 with the hpba2s
I hope that helps.
all the best

I was thinking this as my setup for producing dance music: Retina MacBook Pro --> Violectric V800 DAC --> HPBA-2-S Amp --> Sennheiser's HD650.
But maybe the Stereo 96 Mytek DAC is better?
I'm looking for the most revealing and flat sound i can get
