Yeah, kinda. I'm not a fan of the Zen series for a few reasons, but they aren't bad. Do you know the seller?

You could get an HD650/600 for 200 euros, and I don't think the Zen stuff is worth 350 unless you really want the fixed EQ presets. If you'll be listening from a PC then you can do the same adjustments for free.

No, i don't know the seller, I was surfing for a hd650/6xx and found that offer and thought it was interesting, but don't know much about the amp/dac combo.

Do you know of a good amp/dac paring for this headset?

Almost all DACs and amps in this price range are almost perfectly transparent to the source. You don't really have to worry about optimising or synergy. A K5 Pro would do the job quite well. I like the JDS Atom stuff, but it will be more expensive due to import charges.

Also, I'd go for the HD600 if given a choice. It's very similar but has a tiny bit more treble clarity.
