I'd put more emphasis on headphones than DACs and Amps. I'd rather own a few pairs of good headphones that please me rather than blow thousands of dollars on DACs and Amps. I like Planars so I'm not getting off cheap. I also like HD600's that can be found on the occasional sale for a very nice price. Since I'm not into tubes, I find the Asgard 2 (I have a few other amps remaining) to fit most of my needs and ditched my overpriced pure tube amps long ago. I find that Schitt has excellent products that aren't there to repurpose the contents of one's wallet.
Oh, absolutely. Improve the transducers, DAC, and amp, in that order. Huge difference when I went from HD-600s to HD-800s. Wondered if I wasted my money, initially, on Gumby, but the right source material made it shine. I went from a bad Brand X amp to a better amp. That's where I am now. The question, would I notice the difference going from a better amp to a good amp. I dunno. RMAF is calling me to give it a listen.
