in addition to great sounding headphones, these are fantastic gaming headphones too. I use them when i'm playing BF 1 and D3. I have the K7xx paired with an XDuoo XD-05

jefe32I like it a lot. I uses the AKM4490 DAC which i'm sure you're familiar with, and best of all the opamp is upgradeable. a lot of people are modding it to the burson V5i. I haven't done it yet but from what everyone is saying, it takes an already great portable amp to even greater heights.

dropd2naYeah. I have the Centrance Dacportable and the Massdrop Dacportslim. Both have the AKM4490 chip. Probably why my next dac may be the ifi audio or Chord Mojo instead of the m9xx. I'm aware more goes into the making/designing of a dac but I just want to try out another dac chip. I have read about the opamp swapping. So what does the swapping do? Make it louder, provide more power?

jefe32i'd like a chord mojo..but WAY out of my budget. oh well, in a different life, maybe....
anyways swapping out the opamp will basically do all all of the above. the popular mod for this is a burson v5i
look at this: https://www.bursonaudio.com/xduoo-xd-05-with-burson-v5i-opamp-mod-2/

dropd2naNormally I would agree with you on the price but I have seen it sold barely used (as in ppl just wanted to say they tried it) on headfi for anywhere from 350-400$. Still a lot but definitely cheaper. Most of the ppl selling stuff there are just trying to demo as much stuff as possible so they buy it used, use it for a few hours then sell it to have more money to try something else.
