I recently bought used DT-440 for very low price and ordered Lenovo Yoga tablet: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/tablets/lenovo/yoga-tablet-series/yoga-tablet-2-win-10/#tab-tech_specs
now I am looking for DAC/AMP,
 
I consider Dragonfly which I think would drive these HP and would give a nicer sound than current Thinkpad T500's sound card. Is anyone using these headphones and have other suggestions?
 
Tablet I chosen has very good battery and that would be enough with Dragonfly I suppose. 
 
 
P.S. I also had Brainwavz HM5 but one of the dynamic broke. I liked them a lot and wonder if there is any possibility to get a new dynamic for them?

A bit late maybe but I am a great fan of the DT440. They are one the great underrated headphone and sound pretty good out of almost any source. On the other hand they do respond well to better quality amplification. However I would try them straight out of the tablet (it will have enough power) for now The sound won't be transformed with a dac/amp.  If you like them, which I'm sure you will, then look to upgrade later.
