These are a great performer, especially once you remove the grills after EQ however, they require insane amount of power my A90 barely keeps up

No. You're welcome.

Quote from artifiz :
The JDS Labs Atom Stack will suffice as well as the Drop's THX AAA 789 or the THX AAA Monolith by Monoprice, but these amps would likely not exploit these headphones' soundstage and full resolution. They would not sound thin, but not as good as they sound with good headphone amp. Some people say: Buy high end headphones first, amps will come after. I think its a good approach. I first had the Drop THX AAA 789 amp when I received my HE6se from adorama, later on, probably 2 years later I bought the Burson Soloist 3XP.

I have the Sundaras which I barely use. Will these offer much better sound quality?

And here I was hoping you get the XS. Seems like some people prefer that over this one.

Quote from beegeepee :
Is this a significant upgrade over the Hi-F iman HE-560
They are noticeable with a good enough amp to justify the upgrade, yes. They are an end-game class headphone.

If you have to buy a new amp to power these correctly then don't do it. Buy easier to drive cans with a budget that includes what an additional amp would have added.

Does anyone know if a goxlr would be able to power these? Or would I need to get a separate amp?

I am guessing the Magni/Modi Schiit stack won't do it?

I have a Monoprice THX 887 and a Schiit Modius that drive these. They sound great. Not sure if a more powerful amp would help, but to my ears they don't really need it.

They do sound noticeably better after using the Peace equalizer on my computer. Downloaded an equalizer profile that really makes them shine.

Magni, no.

The hinge and yoke design looks very similar to the HE4XX's, which is to say it's going to fail as mine did less than a year out of warranty, and you're going to be forced to use zip ties to keep the ear cups attached to the head band. I didn't listen to the warnings about HIFIMAN quality at first. But now I know. Avoid unless you can get some sort of extended warranty.
