Which headphones of Drop's currently avialable?
I have some rewards points to burn but there's no obviously good options on Drop right now for headphones Contenders Ultrasone - maybe? I don't own any Ultrasones, so curious. Looks like garbage travel headphone which could be useful also. Beyerdyanmic DT990 Pro. - Maybe? I have the DT 880 Good price point, really uncomfortable headphones but could be interesting to try the upgraded version. E-MU - strong contender but $400 is a bad price point for what it is. Which of the above would you choose and why? Nothing else on Drop is relevant to my interests, because Already own 6xx 820 800 s Ether cx Garbage / Consumer grade Meze 99 - garbage bass canons, hard pass No gaming headphones obviously Sennheiser wireless - no to wireless/bluetooth Hifiman - I have 2 of drop hifimans and they make really bad cheap shit on Drop, hard pass on HE-R7DX Aeon - I own the closed, Drop refuses to address #padgate so no reason to buy open Beyerdynamic 177x - wireless, nope Too similar 8x / 560s...

First off - I am a audiophile noob, so if you can please use simpler reasoning and terms so i can follow.
Now, I currently have the Bose Companion 2 Speakers and bought the Massdrop 6XX headphones. I havent started using them because when i plugged them into my computer, they didn't seem to sound right. After reading online, I saw that everyone recommends getting a Amp and DAC.
I have been so confused and overwhelmed by the options I have out here. My budget is around $400 CAD. I want something that I can connect both my speakers and my headphones too. I am looking into the CLH + SDAC currently available on massdrop.
Massdrop has a lot of options for Amp/DAC options but im unsure of ones that will allow me to use both my devices. I am not an enthusiast but more so someone who enjoys great sound.
Any help would be super appreciated!
