Definitely don't spend too much on headphones (or source gear for that matter). Perhaps just some good old DT 880s would do if you want more low end. As for a stereo system for movies, I'd suggest starting with looking for a solid subwoofer (SVS, Rythmik) and two front channels (KEF, ELAC).

Their weakness is definitely the frequency response, but the even that's fine after some eq- they actually replaced my DT 880s job.

Eh, even the bigger Behri interfaces don't have very good headphone amps (Low power, high output impedance, distortion shoots up above half volume). Though with some specific setups they are fine (I'm using SE215 IEMs with a ifi Earbuddy on a 204HD). Amazing interfaces for the money apart from that.

Any self-noise being present, even without anything playing is totally unacceptable and reveals the compromises being made during developement. Few companies like HEDD uses actual quality amps (ICEPower), and that's only on their TOTL. Even Genelec rates the self-noise on the 80x0 line to be 10dB@1m. Age related hearing loss and a listening room with a bad noise floor also certainly affect the opinions on these speakers (some people claim that the JBL 305s don't hiss?) Anyways, what speakers does OP have? The worst case of audiable hiss I've heard was some Presonus speakers, being audiable from 3m away.

Pretty much all "studio monitors" use cheap amplification with a bad noise floor. I've spent enough money and time on active speakers, ended up switching to passive speakers with a good integrated amplifier for nearfield listening.

Instead of looking glass, I like using barrier (https://github.com/debauchee/barrier). You just switch the input on your monitor and move your cursor to the side to control the vm.

I got a D03K to get rid of EMI noise on my Realtek. Getting a $100 dac just to get rid of interferance doesn't make sense. Optical in, clean line out, $20

We just have all of our important W10 systems connected to the AD with Direct Access and the user folder on the servers to not deal with data loss
