What headphones use the same 2.5mm connectors as the (upgraded) HE 400i? Do the 560, Edition X, and 1000 V2 use the 2.5mm? Interested in other brands also, I think Oppo PM 1/2 also use the same connectors?

Give the Micca Origen+ a look. Big and heavy compared to E10K or Dragonfly, and driver install is a bit wonky, but it's got some terrific advantages: 1/4" as well as 3.5mm jack; optical in and 3.5mm line out; gain switch on front; toggle to switch between headphones and line out; biggish volume pot on top. These advantages make it wonderfully convenient to use. I got mine open box for $44.
The Dragonfly products are great, especially the red at 2x your budget, but think hard about whether you want a dac/amp without volume adjust. Me, that's a deal breaker. E10K is fine and I love the size, but I do not love the tiny volume wheel and the 1/8" jack.

I'm wondering what would be the best computer dac/amp under $100 to pair with the HE-400i?
