At the moment I am using an E7/E9 combo with a Superlux HD668B. I am planning to buy a Sennheiser HD650 soon and in the future I would also like to upgrade the E7/E9 to a better Amp and DAC. I have looked at the Schiit Valhalla+Bifrost and the Burson HA-160DS (which is about the upper limit I would like to spend on an amp+DAC, though if 100 or 200 euro will give me a tremendous increase in sound quality I am willing to save up some more.) I have also taken a look at the Little Dot Mk.IV SE and the Little Dot DAC_1. Due to shipping costs and import duties these combinations will probably all cost around the same price in euros, around the 700-800 mark. The amp and DAC brand don't necessarily have to be the same. Maverick Audio D2 and A1 with upgrades tubes are also a consideration.
 
What I am looking for are suggestions and recommendations which system I should also take a look at. I listen mostly to soul, jazz, classic rock, indie rock, and some electronic. The DAC will be connected via an optical cable to an iMac
