100+ Head-Fier
Hi looking to upgrade form my HE-400 to a $1000 headphone, any suggestions/recommendations? What dac/amp would be nicely paired with it? Thanks in advance.
The Audeze LCD-X is an option. It doesn’t need a lot of power to drive it, but does scale very well with better, higher powered equipment.Hi looking to upgrade form my HE-400 to a $1000 headphone, any suggestions/recommendations? What dac/amp would be nicely paired with it? Thanks in advance.

I agree, don't confuse matters by choosing two things simultaneously. Pick the headphones first, as they're the most important component. And the difference between headphones is WAY bigger than the difference between most dacs, and even many amps. It's much easier to match a dac/amp to your favorite headphones than the other way 'round. All IMHO of course.Probably the best advice is to settle on which headphones and then pick a mainstream DAC with the features you want.
But try to hear it first. While used stax pair is for sure one of the best sounds in technical terms around 1k i couldn't live with the liveless stax sound as a single headphone.Used pair of stax headphones and driver, or the srs 3100.
