The HD 560S might interest you. Despite feeling somewhat cheap in the hands, they are surprisingly durable, and offer better bass extension than the K701/K702.

Your motherboard's headphone output likely has high output impedance, so I recommend trying an Apple USB-C dongle if you'd prefer less bass without relying on EQ. You can use a USB-A to USB-C adapter if your motherboard lacks a USB-C port.

What are you connecting your IEMs to? The Truthear Zero are sensitive to output impedance, given their impedance curve.

>If the Mojo 2 does not have a proper line-out and it connects to an amp through the headphone-out, isn't it basically double amping?

The Mojo 2 would be fine to use with the A90 Discrete, provided that its output voltage doesn't exceed 2.9 Vrms (high gain input sensitivity).

>Would I gain anything by adding an amp like the Topping A90D?

No, just a lighter wallet. If you wish to alter/improve the sound of your headphones, try experimenting with EQ.
