LCD-4 with Qudelix 5K or Singxer SA-1 when I stationary.

Got HD-800S recently and running them with 5K, however, still like LCD-4 better.

Is the Dragonfly Cobalt enough for the Sennheiser 800 S in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

Just sold Cobalt that came with used HD800S I bought, it make sound but very low volume. I am assuming it doesn't have enough power, get Qudelix 5k instead. It has been my go to for around the house listening with HD800S and LCD-4.

So so tempting… I just bought some 6xx’s though. Maybe in a few years time in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

I have been checking on and off for a while, FB marketplace and Craigslist. Good compliment with my LCD-4.

Picked up a used pair in mint condition plus Dragonfly Cobalt DAC few days ago for USD700 locally. Pretty sweet deal :)

Can I forgo "gamer headphones" and simply use my regular headphones instead? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

I was using HD58X for sometimes before changing to SPH9600 with mic boom for comfort.

I don't see any disadvantages using regular headphones compared to gaming ones, I played FPS by the way, BF2042 mostly.
