Are the Audio-Technica ATH-R70X headphones better than the ATX-AD900X?
I have gotten a little bit into audiophile stuff after watching some dankpods videos, and I want to step up my game with a better pair of open-back headphones for around 300 USD, but I do not really know what to get. I have looked at Sennheiser and other companies, but what I am mostly looking for is a pair of high ohm headphones with big drivers in them (about 50mm) because I am a huge bass junkie. I came across Audio-Technica and they have exactly what I am looking for in my budget, and the products they make look good too. I have not tried the headphones myself but they seem like the best option because everything else I find is more expensive than I would like. The main question here is if the two headphones mentioned in the title are good, which one is better than the other, or if I should just stay away from this company in general. As a newbie, am very open to suggestions about other headphones I could get and things I should look for and stay away from, so any constructive...

I have a few questions regarding applies to DAC/AMP in general.
1) Does RCA cable lower sound quality to speaker?
2) If you plug in headphone, does it automatically switch the audio output from RCA to headphone jack?
3) Is there a DAC/AMP that can take in two different wired digital source (1 from desktop and 1 from laptop) as well as Bluetooth and is able to freely switch between the 3 sources? If not, would using USB KVM switch work well?
4) How does ~$150-$200 speaker (like the Edifier R200DB) compared to the Sound Blaster X Katana?
I am interested in using a DAC/AMP combo to be used for speaker and headphones for my laptop and desktop. Recommendations for DAC/AMP and speakers combination set would be appreciated. Looking for ~$300 total and something that will not take up a lot of space on desk.
Thanks
