I own the iFi micro iDSD and use it regularly to drive my HD800S, and more recently Westone UM Pro 30 IEMs (which sounds amazing as a pairing). It was driving the Audeze LCD-2 before I sold it.

My most expensive headphone is B&O H7. I probably won't hear much difference if I get this? I've had my eye on Aune B1 (2017 version) also.

You will not see a difference with this unfortunately. I also found this to be a bad match with Audeze LCD-X, and LCD - 4, but this sounds excellent with HD650 or HE560 or HE-1000
