Your system looks fine to me. Headphones are a very personal choice, much more so than speaker setups. My high end headphone amp is a Aurouasound HEADA, which is a wonderful SS amp that many audiophiles think it sounds like a high end tube amp, only with solid bass.

Having said that, check out this video. I have to admit that I think he's bang on here.

Technology has advanced. I also have a PS Audio DSD MK 1 DAC, along with an Aurouasound HEADA headphone amp. When level matched, one would be hard pressed to discern the differece beteen the high end setup and the DX9, Believe me, I would not have belived this before hearing this for myseelf.
The headphones used for comparison are high end cans.
