A mid-sized Audio-gd unit would do it, or a Geek Out 450. The HD-600s can be pushed pretty far. I found they get more of a kick in the pants with initial upgrades then start to get more spacious as you get very serious, but you'll hit a resolution wall eventually. I wouldn't be surprised if, where you're at, the DAC in that XiangSheng is most of the problem.
Thanks! I'll put the Geek Out into the mix.
My hypothesis too...the source looks like the weak link on the rig right now. I'm curious to see what differences I'll find once the new DAC is in place.
The DA-03A/MS-1 rig was good to introduce me to the hobby, but in hindsight I should have gone higher end right from the start. Gave the MS-1s to my cousin on long term loan...
