$5K should get you to audio headphone heaven. I have a 5400ES I play SACDs through with my headphone set up. I recently upgraded to the Bryston BHA-1 head amp. Have you tried it? It is balanced and sounds great with the 5400 using Shunyata Zitron Python XLRs. It is overlooked by the media it seems, but, has great reviews. I use either of 2 headphones these days - a modded Byerdynamic 770 (600 O.) or a stock Denon AH -D2000. The cables are all Shunyata, and this has made a big difference in increased resolution and smoothness. For long listening and sound quality I found over the ears phones work best for me.
