jsmiller58WTH, I went for it . I need a lot of Amps. It's not like I have any real will power anyway. Let's see, I have an amp for my home office (Little Dot MK II), an amp for my apartment office (NFB 11.38), an amp for my apartment living room (Aune X7s), an amp for my apartment bedroom (CTH), and an amp for my home bedroom (LCX)... What am I going to do about all the Monoprice offerings about to hit the market?? And DACs. I needed more DACs!!
I am in soooooo deep. Someone help me!!!

jsmiller58You should really look at the DarkVoice 336SE OTL. That is my next purchase. They supposedly make the Senns HD sing.
But, I have the Topping D50 paired with my Aune X7S and love that combo. I am looking at the Focal Elexs too -- how do you like them? Those cans or the Hifiman's he4xx. Decisions, decisions. . . .

PorchSongThanks for the suggestion! I have been thinking about the DV!
The Topping D50 I think pairs well with just about anything - decodes the bits faithfully, and generally stays out of the way of the chosen Amp and headphones!
As to the Elex, I have them and they are my favorite headphones that I own. Extremely dynamic, good sound signature from bass to treble. Clear and a bit bright. They can get tiring when paired with a bright amp (for example not the greatest pairing with my NFB 11.38, but sound great driven by the X7s). If you like the warmer (at least by comparison) sound and thundering bass of something like the TH-X00, the Elex might not be to your liking, though.
I don't have the 4XX, but I do have the Sundara. I would say I like the cleaner, more dynamic sound of the Elex. But I do like the Sundara as well and if the 4XX have a similar sound signature I would think they are great cans as well.

I currently have the following DACs and amps
Topping D50 DAC NFB 11.38 (with integrated DAC & Amp) iFi xDSD (with integrated DAC & Amp) CTH Amp Aune X7s Amp MD O2 Amp
The cans I usually use are:
Focal Elex Sundara 1990 DT Pro Aeon Flow Closed TH-X00 HD660s HD58X
Would the LCX offer a sufficiently different sound with the cans I use to make sense for me? How different would it be?
