I am new to the headphone scene and have moondrop IEMs which to me are my start into the high end field of headphones. I came across Audeze LCD-5 which are like 4,500$ I wouldn’t mind paying it but I kinda want to work my way up to them and were wondering if any similar or recommended headphones for maybe $1000? They can be open or closed back. I love hardcore techno and rap but mostly techno. Also if it isn’t too much if you also have a recommendation for a AMP/DAC that can pair up with the headphones you suggest let me know!
