(HELP) Audio Setup Recommendations

Hi all,

 

I'm new to Audio but I'm trying to put together a high quality build. I have decided on pairing some Yamaha HS7's with the Yamaha HS8S subwoofer. For headphones, I have decided on the Beyerdynamic DT1990 with a Modmic.

 

My question for you is: What additional sound devices do I need to maximize this setup? I am primarily talking about amps, pre-amps, DACs, headphone amps. Whatever the hell else, I don't really know them all. In addition to that, maybe some stands and/or isolation pads that will help these devices. One thing I am interested in is being able to keep both my headphones and speakers plugged in at the same time and be able to switch between them from desktop.

I got the Schiit Stack and called it a day. Magni 3/Modi 3. Power my Sennheiser HD 6XX headphones just fine. They say it can be used for pretty much anything. I'd believe it, but I don't have $1500-2200 to spend on some HD 800 S or HD 820's.

R.I.P. Asus X99-A motherboard, April 2016 - October 2018, may you rest in peace. 5820K, if I ever buy you a new board, it'll be a good one.
