The 58X is my favorite headphone that I have under $200. I've since moved on to the HD 800S as my daily driver, but I use the 58X for playing electric guitar through my Line 6 Helix. No other headphone I have makes my guitars sound as real as the 58X does. If I had to sell all of my headphones and keep just one on a desert island, it'd probably be the 58X.

Yea the electric guitar is crazy. Sounding. And to be fair the piano , acoustic guitar even sounds amazing. Vocal too. Like there's no sharpness that hurt my ears. Some of the headphone I use sometime because the vocal gets too high like for IU cause of her voice and her amazing vocal range it actually hurt my ears. But this pair it doesn't.
But if I gonna upgrade maybe a better DAC. Cause the differences between the china desktop DAC and K1 is a big difference from what I am hearing and it draws more power for the suca audio.

Btw I wanna upgrade my DAC. What you recommend? And do you recommend I get an amp?or a pre amp? I feel like a better DAC woul improve the clarity and reduce noise for the headphone .

I'm not the most knowledgeable on DACs, per se. I went from a cheap Syba Sonic (now Best Connectivity) amp/DAC combo to a Schiit Modius after a few years. Now I'm using a Schiit Bifrost 2. Other people on here might be better suited to telling you what to upgrade to, while still others will tell you that all DACs sound the same and there's no point (jUsT gEt aN aPpLe dOnGLe).
As it stands, I'm looking into an upgrade for my Darkvoice tube amp next since I love what tubes do to my HD 800S. I'm eyeing the WA7 Fireflies 3rd gen, which is a tube amp that just also happens to have a built in DAC and pre-amp. I know even less about pre-amps; never used them as far as I've been aware.
I guess you could go the Topping route. They seem to get a lot of praise for their stuff. Like a D30 or D90 or whatever.

Like now I got 58x I got a china DAC. I got enough volume. So do I buy an amp or a pre amp to like boost the quality? Btw this is my end game not gonna buy any other headphone I am contented. So yeah. Please advise

You just need an amp and a DAC or a combo amp/DAC (all-in-one amp w/ DAC built in). You shouldn't need a separate pre-amp to drive the 58X whatsoever. The idea is to make sure you can drive the headphones properly. Basically, this means that your getting a satisfying amount of volume out of them without needing to turn the volume dial all the way up (if you need to do that, then you're not getting enough power). The 58X should not need anything fancy/expensive (relatively) to drive them/make them sound good.
Edit: since you already have a FiiO K1 DAC, and the Suca Audio looks like a tube amp, that should be more than sufficient. Are you saying you're not satisfied with the amount of volume the Suca amp provides?
Edit 2: Is that Suca a pre amp? You should be using a regular amp instead of just a pre amp I believe.
Edit 3: The more I look at the Suca amp, the more I want to suggest investing in something that will provide a better, more effective listening experience. Again, you don't have to spend a lot of money to do this, but a $50 mini tube amp probably isn't going to provide you with the best that the 58X can offer. From the reviews on Amazon, people are saying that it lacks a ton of detail. Maybe look at Topping, SMSL, JDL Labs, Schiit, etc. for something that will allow your headphones to display the amount of detail and volume they're capable of. There are plenty of amps from those companies that are in the $100-$200 range.

The spec suggest like a tube amp? But on the seller page saying it's a DAC. Inside have a small amp or something. That's what the seller said so far it can drive flac song. Suca audio at 14%. Suca audio it's not a pre amp or an amp. I think it's an amp DAC or something I post the link here.

And got one Redditor suggest me to buy a ve megstron amp.
Like I totally don't know what to do. The sound imo it gets plenty loud. Maybe I just want a clear audio.like I feel it didn't reach its full potential. That's how I feel it.
And I using the peace eq just wow. The oragotory sound clear the vocal and the bass pull back ABIT which had more bass but it's ok. The other present near to stock which has more bass I enjoy so much.
Like I am looking into fiio e10k TC or the fiio k3 or k3 pro. Cause I feel like my suca audio gonna spoil soon. I bought it super cheap. Around $20+ usd.
Saw this DAC amp. It uses the ess DAC chip or something. On fiio k5 pro . But in china brand. Can u take a look https://shopee.com.my/product/30095187/9933570725?smtt=0.364139984-1666140875.9
