Hi all ,

Just recently got into this bottomless rabbit hole of "high quality sound on/in my ears"  :groovy:
Been browsing this forum in "lurker"mode for a few months already, hehe and not too much participation.
Anyway, I need some advice/opinions on what would be a "lekker" desktop amp/dac for the following:
Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro 250Ohm
Sendy Aiva's
Sennheiser HD58x Jubilee's
(seems I'm getting these as a present)

I'm running the above temporarily on an ifi xDAC (seems this will become mine too) for listening to Tidal, iTunes and FLAC music

On the way I have also
Philips SHP9500 and a Modmic 5 (will mostly be used for gaming) This does not have to run through the DAC/AMP but would be convenient.

My budget is max R15000
Something that's caught my eye, that seems kind of out of the mainstream, is the Klipsch Heritage Headphone DAC/AMP. No specific reason other than mostly positive reviews and I love the wooden finish look and also not too bulky.
There does not seem to be any stock in SA though.

Thank you in advance  :)
