Sennheiser HD 820 Closed-Back Headphones

I haven’t auditioned a Denafrips DAC myself, but my friends who have or even own them feel they are great value for the dollar (as ladder DACs).

Well amps, I’m about to build my last headphone system. The source is Cayin N8ii going into a Denefrips Dac. I’m looking for a cheaper alternative but it’s the ladder logic I’m after here and the I2S connection. This is also my electrostatic build and that amp will be Woo Audio or Headamp. That amp will be a tube. I actually have the headphones already Stax limited edition. The other side will be a tube amp of which I’m still undecided. The third amp which will be solid state. Leaning towards Headamp again. So that system will have three amps connected like my current system. I have quite a few power hungry planers about so power shouldn’t be a problem. Let me rephrase quality power shouldn’t be a problem. I certainly appreciate advice and you have let me know I’m headed in a good direction.

I should probably add a disclaimer that many amps clip when trying to power deep bass notes, more current is needed at low frequencies, so it’s nicer to have a more powerful amp.
