I purchased a HiFiMan HE-400S over-ear full-size planar magnetic headphone recently. So far, I can't tell its sound quality is much better than the Monoprice Premium Hi-Fi DJ Style Over-the-Ear Pro Headphone # 8323, which is its 1/15 price, after plugging it into either a PC or Denon D-M5S. I can't hear a type of sound space I have heard with a headphone at a headphone demo station in a Costco store. I am wondering whether the reason is a low quality of sound source or an inadequate audio hardware. I have tried the headphone with high-resolution sound files downloaded from the net and I can't tell much difference between a higher resolution and a lower resolution of a same piece of music. I am wondering whether I need to invest on a DAC such as Chord Mojo to let the HiFiMan headphone shine or not.
