I have ~$800 to spend on Headphone + DAC + Amp.
I listen to mostly classical music.
I had almost decided on:
Sennheiser HD650 ($385) + DacPort LX DAC ($250) + JDSLabs CMoy Amp ($60) = $695 for now - with the idea of replacing the CMoy with the Bottlehead Crack later.
However, I've just come across the new HE-400, which a lot of people seem to recommend over the HD650.
Would you recommend them over the HD650 for classical music?
If so, what's an optimal HE-400 + DAC + Amp setup for under $800?
EDIT: By classical music, I mean the full range: solo piano, violin, cello; symphonies, concertos, chamber music.
