What is your budget, and what is decent to you? One can easily spend a few thousand, all the way to $25k and more.
The better headphones will require dedicated headphone amps; especially electrostatic.

will the headphone system requires its own DAC and network bridge? a 'streaming' headphone amplifier so to speak.

Very important to test drive before you buy. Head Amp will allow returns with a reasonable restocking fee. The Cable Company has a lending library.
