Hello I listin to hip hop screamo(mostly screamo) some techno and alternative rock. I was thinking of getting the HD 558's after some research and do the foam mod to get them closer sounding to the HD 598's but have better midrange from what I've read. Now I have never listned to good headphones and only have heard good speakers. My budget to start out would be around $350 and was wondering what headphones should I get with room to upgrade with an amp so for example: HD 558's with the E5+E7 amp (only decent thing i can find not even sure if its decent :p) willing to spend about $150 for headphones and about $220 on an amp/dac and I also use 320/kbs songs

All in all its best to start with headphones then move to an amp then if I even need an amp any suggestions? Thanks!
 
Just other questions:
1. What benefits are their if you use non usb to hook up your amp?
