This is the best configuration for EQ I have found, with a burson ha160d.
Any suggestions on how to make it better?

 
 
Looks good to me.

That EQ looks pretty correct for neutral response, but I would not reduce the 6khz area like you have, because on the HE400 that area is not boosted, anything above about 7.5khz is boosted quite a lot but 6khz is recessed along with the rest of the upper mids, so you are prob losing a bit of detail there by reducing that.

For sub €150ish would the E17 be the best choice for AMP/DAC to power these?

For home / PC use I would get the Xonar STX

I agree I added a slight dip to the 7-10k area then brought it back up around 14-20k. I need to get easy Q working so I can fine tune it alittle better but it's an improvement!

Uhmmm....????
I'll do the tests increasing 6khz >> 0db going to scale the peak of 8-10 khz up

What?
 
If you look at the frequency graph of the HE400.... 6khz is actually almost the quietest part of the whole headphone, then it has a bump at about 7khz > so lowering 6khz further with EQ is probably not a good idea.... However if it sounds good to you then do whatever you like...

Thanks for the help!  



Another question, where have people from EU, more specifically UK/Ireland been ordering from?

WHERE can I order some Jegger Pads :O I just had a revelation! Pull the ear cups like 1mm away from ur ears and OMG THE FREAKING SUB BASS EXPLODES... what the hell Hifiman why would you DENY me such WONDERFUL SUB BASS 
 
Or better yet I could make some kind of Jegger Hybrid J$money pad
 
 
Yea where is the link to the JeggerPad Mod, so I can mod my J$Money pads

You can mod the pads yourself it is not hard, although I expect the ready made ones will be better as they have made lots of pairs.

So people prefer that the bass not explode.
