It's been often said that these types sound fantastic out of the headphone out of various portables, but that they also scale tremendously with desktop class amps and DACs. After trying out various full-size headphones over the last couple of years, I just keep going back to my JH13s due to comfort, and of course also the sound.
I've decided that I want to build a proper computer based summit-fi setup around the JH13. Budget I'm trying to stay around is 5K for the DAC and AMP, but less is better.
I specifically have the JH13, but I'd like to hear from all of you that use the various elite customs (JH16, UERM, Heir 8.A, Starkey SA-43, UM Merlin, Melody, Miracle, UE18, Westone ES5, MG6Pro, Spiral Ear 5way, among others) with TOTL desktop gear.
