Using mine with a dragonfly cobalt. Coming from momentum 2 over-ears and loving every second. Next step will probably be the cable as I had good experience with an aftermarket cable for my momentums.
Did you choose the cable?
Topping D10s, Schiit Magni 3+, and Dekoni Nuggets 4 of em lining the headband lol. About to order some new pads. Also, the xs is amazingly comfy while wearing a beanie, more bass too.
Topping D30 Pro DAC, Topping A30 Pro amp, Tripowin GranVia XLR cable. I'm more than happy with this setup,.
Mostly use them w a RU6, Loki & ifi Zen Can but sometimes I use a Piety to switch it up. Not sure why but I havent tried them on main rig yet, Bifrost 2, Lokius & ifi Pro Signature
Do Dekoni nuggets help a lot with comfort?
Yes, seriously, like 100%. No more hotspot on top of head, and increase clamp to be just right.
JDS Labs Atom + stack and pad swapped to Aliexpress pleather + suede pads. Sounds great, and no more squeaking against glasses.
I also used some 205G0 lube on the metal arm that retract into the headband to reduce creaking and to improve the smoothness of the height adjustment system.
Side note: I found that most of the cheap aftermarket pads don't clip into the headphone as strongly as the OEM pads. I still need to try Dekoni pads to see if they are worth it.
Running two pair in ultra long distance mode
Had to return both to their respective vendors due to issues out of the box
Topping ex5 as dac & preamp and xduoo mt 604 w stock tubes. I put the volume on the 604 at max on both channels and then control the volume w the ex5.

Just using mine with a Schiit Fulla 3, probably not the expected pairing but hey it gets the job done
