My main gear currently are an Ifi Zen DAC and some nice Hifiman 4xx plugged into them.
No matter what, I keep coming back to these two. I have other gear, not this is the one that pleases me the most. It is not my endgoal, but it’s superb to my ears.
Fiio k7 - > ananda stealth 4.4 / M1060 Topping l30 + Thx AAA One - > Grado 325x Topping d10s - > SS-1 - > Koss 95X
HD560s + FiiO K5 Pro.
Been an amazing setup, but am looking for a neutral-bright headphone to replace the 560s. Could’ve been the Ananda V2 but I had QC issues with 2 seperate units within a few weeks of use.
Ah the dreaded Hifiman QC. I’m waiting for the day my 4xx’s break. Not looking forward to it.
Focal Utopia and a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 x)
Topping e50 single end -> Fosi tube amp -> Magnius / Topping e50 balanced -> Magnius. Edifier MR4 and headphones run off the balanced outputs on the Magnius. One button switches between SE and balanced input and the Fosi has bass and treble controls.
Schiit Midgard with a Modius E and HD 660S. Been really digging it!

Bluesound Node to Topping E30 to L30ll on main setup. PC to Schiit Modi 2 to Magni 3 on secondary. HD 650 and HD 6XX, depending on what’s closest. Fiio KA5 on iOS devices with either of the above headphones or Momentum 2.0, depending on mood. I have a pair of HD 660S2 coming tomorrow. It never ends.
I must ask why do you have 650’s and 6xx’s
I got the MassDrop 6XX for Christmas a couple of years ago and heard they were basically a 650. When a great used deal came up on the real thing, I grabbed it to do some A/B comparisons. Yep. LOL. Pretty much the same.
560s with fog city balance 5ft with 9inch rt angel union on a K7 mounted under my desk
LCD-4 with Qudelix 5K or Singxer SA-1 when I stationary.
Got HD-800S recently and running them with 5K, however, still like LCD-4 better.
LCD-4 have a great balance between resolution and soundstage (HD-800S is more focused on soundstage/imaging). And a different tuning. So definitely reasons to prefer it.
Genelec g2 + wxc-50
He400se + dx3 pro+
HD600 and ex800st. Macbook. Apple dongle.
Sennheiser HD 660S2 (along with a variety of other headphones) with Topping E30II/L30II stack
I’m just starting out but I have a Sennheiser HD660S and Fiio Jade Audio Q11 that I’m enjoying.
Started with Drop Sennheiser HD58X and Fiio BTR5
Connected to iPhone 14 Pro Max and using Apple Music.
Arya stealth / dt 1990 which I bearly use anymore and mk3 L30+E30 that I’m about to upgrade The amp to aune s17 pro, not sure about the dac yet
PC to Topping DX7 Pro + Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro with Dekoni velour pads. Perfection for me.
On the IEM side Sennheiser IE600 + Hiby R5 Gen II, a great pair.
