Hello everyone,
Long time lurker since 2014 but my first time posting.
Lately, I've been browsing to get some upgrades on my current setup and thought I would ask for advice from everyone.
I am currently using Hifiman HE5se and AKG N90Q headphones with EVGA NU and Sound BlasterX G6, which I use mainly for gaming and jazzy-type music.
I've previously owned and used Sennheiser HD598, Audio Technica ATH-M50, and Beyerdynamic T90.
I was originally thinking of getting HD600/650 but I thought that would be more of a side grade instead of an upgrade for me.
So now I am thinking maybe I should get Focal Clear or HD800 which from what I read so far, is a usual upgrade path from the HD6xx series as well.
Am I correct to assume Focal Clear or HD800 would be a good upgrade path for me as well?
I thought of getting DAC/AMP as well but I don't think I have any headphones that are worthy of getting a new DAC/AMP since EVGA NU and Sound BlasterX G6 are serving me well so far. But I would love to hear some recommendations for DAC/AMP as well if you have any.
Thank you all for your reading and time!
