Would you say that for the money the compass 2 9018 is the best pairing for the hifiman he-500? I can't spend too much so would this combination of amp and DAC be best? btw it doesn't have to be just one unit i could purchase them separately.
Well, you could probably say it's one of the good value unit for ~$600 new - especially for us in the UK. Still I do not think highly of Kingwa all-in-one stuff (I like his dedicated preamp and dac however).
Buying used is another matter though. Decent dac and a vintage receiver will blow the socks off most headphone dac/amp combo of the same price

Do you plan to upgrade in any foreseeable future, or do you plan to stick with the combo for a loooong time?
