there arent going to be earpads available at anytime. I am just looking for a suggestion about the headphones. I am a little uncomfortable about spending 250 dollars on a headphone amp at the moment.Spending $150 or so on an amp that isnt that much of an improvement over your $70 DAC-HPamp isn't going to make those years pass any faster, but not spending that $150 or so now will, since you get to keep the $150 for later and you're already $150 towards an Asgard for example.
Also, if you're somewhere that would make it very cost-prohibitive to acquire earpads, you might want to check what's available in your area. Or buy at least one pair along with the headphones.
Given the spending strategy that I'm suggesting, what I would do instead is not rush into things.
What open back headphone would you suggest for someone whos starting out ?
