Shure 1540 vs Beyerdynamic t51p vs ath-m50

[lofthanza]

Having had both the ath-m50 and the t51p, and being perfectly happy with both, yet craving an upgrade, I thought of the Shure 1540. I just dont know what to expect from the Shures in comparison to those two headphones or to the momentums that I owned for a while?
Anyone with any thoughts please?

The 1540s are a worthy upgrade. A truly unique headphone. They like a good source and amping though so be careful.

I happen to have the dacmagic xs but I am not sure if it will drive it well.

The 1540s are not difficult to drive. That will be fine.
