Focal 1028Be or JBL L100 classics (your choice)
In the smaller space, I'd say the JBL's. I heard them recently in a showroom and was really impressed, and I really like the old school look. I have the Focal 1008BE and they sound great, but the 1028BE might be a bit much in that space.

Yes, you can use another DAC with the Node 2i. You should also take the app interface into consideration. This is an area where Bluesound excels.

Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic?
Lol @ Ken Rockwell. If you want to keep some money in your pocket, get the Massdrop Sennheiser HS-6XX. At the high end of your budget, get the Massdrop Focal Elex.

@oddiofyl  I'm glad to hear that.  I have some nice stuff, but it's mostly "mid-fi" and most of it I have purchased second hand.First off, I'm not really a DIY person, I like to purchase fully realized products.  You may have me confused with some...
