If you want, save up for a simple tube amp. They tend to up the holographic quality and instrument separation noticeably. Especially on high bit rate sources, OST, jazz, classical, binaural, etc…. My rig is iBasso DAP —> Schitt Lokius (typically set to +5 dB bass shelf and - 4 dB near 6k, but it’s nice to be able to reach out and just twist to flavor on the fly) —> schitt Valhalla II (High gain).

I got the Dekoni hybrid elite pads and I won’t go back. They couple better to my head, adding a bit of bass (maybe 2 dB), attenuates the 6k peak a bit (1-2 dB), widens the stage L/R but squeezes it a bit U/D and F/B.

I honestly can’t image better results with out shelling out many thousands more on gear, near perfect for me
