All that being said, I still greatly prefer my main system / loudspeakers since I'm not a huge fan of headphones in the first place.

Yes, you are right. It's the whole headphone system that makes the noise we hear!
I tried the HiFiMan EF-5 amp as well as the Schiit Lyr with HE-500s before buying anything. I much preferred the Lyr, so bought one and then waited for a deal on the 'phones.
Further information on my setup, is that it is sourced by either turntable etc. or SACD/CD player from the tape output on my amplifier. I have not yet plunged into computer file replay, so don't have a DAC.
