Hi everyone.
I have a Hifiman HE-400i and the combo FiiO E17K as a DAC and a FiiO K5 as an amp. IMHO sound is very good and very transparent.
I want to give it a try a new Grados Sr325e for around $295 and pair it whit the FiiO combo I just mention. Or it will be better to invest that budget in a better AMP/DAC maybe a Shiit Asgard 2 / Modi 2 ?

I play mostly Classic Rock an some Jazz

If you have no current issues or aren't feeling limited by your current AMP and DAC setup, then you should totally go for those headphones. The impedance on the SR325e's is actually 2-3 ohms lower than the 400i's, so you shouldn't have to worry if you AMP can drive it.

And of course, if you don't like how the SR325e's sound, you can always return them and look for some other headphones or invest in an AMP/DAC if you really feel the need.
