Sennheiser HD580/600/650 love the Schiit Asgard, Asgard 2, Valhalla 2 and that Bottlehead . I own the Asgard 2 which presents a consistent, sweet class A sound. I've heard the tube Valhalla and Bottlehead, both are amazing and worth owing if I didn't already own the superb Asgard2.

ps. My Audiologist helped me Eq. my rig to properly accommodate my "old" ears, now I have deep-deep-deep base response thats quite surprising and delightful. The Sennheisers respond well to Eq., resulting in a "keeper" headphone system for very modest expenditure. I've owned and loved this same system for a few years now, I feel no need to upgrade.
Guys , what would you consider upgrading first , a Sabre ES9018K2M DAC chip running in ASYNC mode , or upgrading a Fiio E12?
The Fiio.
IMHO, the DAC chip is not what primarily determines overall transparency and SQ in a DAC. It's how the chip is implemented within the overall circuit -- and that includes power supply separation for the analog and digital sections, among other things.
Thanks for your answer, well the dac is from Hifime ( Those tiny black boxes) it doesn't look like anything complex What could i get by upgrading the fiio, at this point? And let's say like , i upgrade for a 200€ AMP , would i get some real benefits going up from the fiio? I'm watching some dac's being recomended but almost are from US companys but i'm from europe and shipping would be a pain :/
Thanks

I was thinking to buy a dac that i will be able to use both on the go with my galaxy s7 and a closed hp and in the hotel rooms with the hd6xx and my s7 or the laptop (i travel alot). At first i was thinking chord mojo but i read lots of reviews about the fact that both hd6xx and mojo are worm so as a combo it is too warm. Could not find something that would be really good for both. I was thinking mojo for on the go and apogee groove as my laptop solution with hd6xx in the hotels.(I know that jot is probably better as a desktop solution but it does not look as a good solution to carry in a suitcase, size wise and weight wise compared to the groove) your thoughts?
