Reply to comment by SirDemonLord in Going from the Sennheiser HD 560S to the HD 800S by Lapralapso

What do you think is a good upgrade to go from the 560s? I enjoy basically everything about this headphone, but I would like something with better resolution and punchier bass, with a bit less heat in the treble. I was thinking the edition XS, or maybe the audeze LCD-2C. Or does it make more sense to go for something higher end, like the Arya or the LCD-X or the Clears?

I'm a little sad I didn't get the 2C for 450 from the black Friday b stock sale, but I've already spent money on a computer and some racing stuff the past couple of months and I don't have a dedicated amp/DAC yet.

I’d recommend getting yourself a amp/dac set up first. That way you have a decent baseline to try different headphones on afterwards. To me, the 8xx/800s is the upgrade to 560s; it’s more of the same signature basically just better. I also have the Edition XS & love them but they sound pretty different than 560s. To me, they slap way harder w a decent amp & just sound more fun w pretty good detail & soundstage as well. They sound great w pretty much any kind of music

I was going to grab the topping dx3 pro+, but the fiio k7 is looking really good for a very similar price. What do you have powering the XS?
