I am wearing my Beyer Dynamic DT770 Pro 250 Ohm right now. Sound great, but almost more importantly, they are comfy on my fat head.

Focusrite Sapphire Pro40 into my Mac

Elektron Octatrack and Digitakt, with Moog Minitaur, Yamaha Reface CP, Zoia and Softsynths on Ipad for my dawless rig.

Awesome, I’m thinking of moving from Windows to Mac in the future, is installing and using an external dac/amp just a plug and play situation, or should I read up on how audio works on MacOS?

I'm going to sound dumb asking this, but i promise i'm just bad with lingo. What do you mean by dac/amp? Like your interface?

If so, yes, it's completely plug n play. NONE of the nonsense with audio drivers you get in Windows. The only thing you have to think about is 32 v 64 bit right now. The M1, M2 macs have made that something you have to think about. For example, i'm on an outdated version of OSX because all my plugins and my interface are old (all still very functional). If i updated to an M1 Mac, i'd not be able to use any of it.

Yeah I did mean my dac/amp, and thanks for the info! Windows has caused so many audio headaches, so I'm relieved to hear that I can just plug in my stuff and I'm off to the races!
