I was wondering:
I'd like to make an upgrade and don't know what to upgrade. I want to upgrade my home-gear. 
This is my present gear: grado sr-125i/ px-100/ shure e3c/ clix2/ squeezebox.
The upgrade will be used at home and with the grado. 
 
Should I buy a new headphone-amp/dac (like the fiio e7 or other input?) that I can hook up to my computer and squeezebox (don't know if that's giving some improvement of the squeezebox controller sound?) OR is it a bigger difference to buy let's say the cowon j3 and use that as my main source for the grado at home instead of the squeezebox controller and computer. 
 
Or would you advice another upgrade?
 
Any help would be appreciated!

Heya,
 
I'd save up your money, you will likely not be able to hear an appreciable difference in an upgrade in the form of your suggestion. Rather, save money for the next Grado you can afford. Shoot for the 325 if you want a real appreciable upgrade.
 
Very best,

I owned the ms-2/hd-650 and corda ha mkII amp a couple of years ago but I didn't want to spend that much money again on headphones very soon(just got the sr 125 for my birthday). But the difference in sound with the grado coupled to let's say a Fiio isn't that much of a difference? 
thanks for your reply btw
