Digital Bottom Feeding
You might also try an Apogee Wyde Eye digital interconnect that runs only $45 for 1m on Amazon.  I prefer it to my Stereovox XV2 that I believe is a successor of sorts to the D60.  Nicely detailed and very natural sounding to my ears.  FWIW if you... 
Are cable recommendations worth anything?
Those are the only things scientific evidence suggests at this point, despite the occasional furious snowstorm of denial.Well, I listen with my ears not scientific instruments.  Not too hard to hear differences between cables IME.  Whether the dif... 
A move from Harbeth to... Wilson?
Sounds like you’re not sure what you’d like to improve upon — “upgrade” is too vague at least for me.  So failing that the obvious safe and perhaps smartest bet is moving up the Harbeth line. I would say that given you like the Harbeth sound I’d s...

Are cable recommendations worth anything?
@tony1954 — Due to your complete and ongoing inability to understand my post here you’re making unfounded and inaccurate accusations about me, my motives, and the posts I make here.  You’re just completely and utterly wrong and seem unable to proc...

Lampizator to which dedicated music streamer?
I’m leaning toward innuos zen, but just so I’m clear a streamer sounds better than a iMac?A good streamer like Innuos or Lumin is optimized for audio and reducing sources of noise, both of which give them a significant performance advantage over m...

How does that make sense and how can this possibly help the poor slob that asked the question?It can’t because the poor slob didn’t ask the right question.  Garbage in, garbage out.  He got exactly what he deserved IMO.  
Basic questions for newbie
What speakers do you have?  What aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you?  This can help narrow down what type of headphone might work best.   
More power for moderate listening levels?
Can you be more specific when you say you hear strain or lack of clarity at higher volume levels — maybe give some specific examples?

I also use Qobuz and run the Apple Camera Adapter from my iPhone or iPad into an Audioquest Dragonfly Red portable amp/DAC into a pair of HifiMan HE400S ‘phones and works really well at home or on the go.  Just one option if you’d rather not run a...
