Verum 2 - dac/amps, cable recommendations

Looking at two dac/amp options for my new Verum 2 cans - the Fiio K11 and the Hifiman EF400. Has anyone compared the two enough to make a recommendation for one or the other. Music will be sourced, via USB cable, from PC.

4.4mm balanced cable rec's greatly appreciated, as well.  Max budget for the dac/amp is $500, cables around $100. I'm also open to a 3rd option, too.

Fwiw, my ears tend towards a highly detailed, yet velvety-smooth sound. Not dry/analytical.

I have tried outboard stand alone headphone amps like Teac, Atoll, Rogue Audio, and they have worked well with all types of headphones. You may want to try headphone cables from Hart Audio, they make excellent aftermarket cables that are real nice and don't break the bank. 

I have had them make a set for my Verum headphones and they improved the sound of those 'phones in my opinion.
