Blood Sweat & Tears Greatest Hits.  This one's headed for the bin. 
Teac NT-505 on Closeout by Walmart
@gvrana That is correct.  The DAC is excellent, but you are limited to the DAC in the NT-505. This unit doesn't appear to have digital audio out to connect your own DAC. Is that correct?

I cannot imagine Walmart has ever sold that, but they do allow other companies to run ads on their site. Look at the bottom of the ad, an it will surely say that another company is selling it.I posted this earlier in the thread:"The units being ...

Newbie HiFi Headphone & Amp pairing suggestions
Thanks! I tend to like a warmer, fuller sound but I'm still new to figuring out what all of the different sound signatures mean. But sounds like I may be drawn to the Audeze and HiFiman more with that in mind.I'd love to find an all in one amp/DAC...

I don't think you would go wrong with any of the headphones you're considering.  I have not heard the exact models you are considering, but have LCD-XC (closed back version of LCD-X), Hifiman HE-560, and Sennheiser HD800 (not HD800s).  Audeze and ...

Aqua la voce S3
I picked one up recently and have been very happy with it.  I bought my second hand here on Audiogon, I doubt I would have sprung for the price of a new one.  It's very detailed and easy to listen to without sounding "digital".  I prefer things ne... 
Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else
I'd get rid of the Klipsch speakers before I'd get rid of the Pass gear.  And I like and own Klipsch speakers.

@tomic601 Long live Zevon!  I had a chance to see him live maybe 20 years ago.  I believe at the Moore Theater in Seattle.  He was not the headliner (I don't remember who was), but put on a great show.  Quite a guitar player.   
SVS PC-4000 subwoofer (music only)...
I had an earlier version of one of SVS's cylinder subs.  It was OK, but I couldn't get past how big and ugly it was.  I prefer sealed subs.  Unless footprint is really an issue, I'd look at one of SVS sealed subs, better yet, get at least 2, prefe...

I have two of these and think they are great.  TEAC does have its own app, plus you can use the Lumin or Esoteric apps.  There are other apps you can use also.  I prefer BubbleUpNp.  There are others.  It supports Tidal and Qobuz, but I don't know...
