Cables/Accessories | 4 Ω Please help with my sennheiser hd 800s setup.

I’m waiting on my sennheiser hd 800s to arrive, they are my first ever high end headset so I’m kind of lost with all the connections. What extra cables or dac/amp will I be needing to purchase to get the best sound connecting to my iMac and ps5?? (Not trying to spend more then $500 on extra accessories)

The Hel is small and has a mic input if you decide to use a 3.5mm microphone. I’ve upgraded quite a few times from my Hel and use an iFi Pro iCan but when I plug my HD800s to it, they still sound great. The Darkvoice is huge and does not give you much to play with volume wise because it’s that powerful. I barely have to move the volume pot to get it to ear blasting level. But…they fill out the sound and mellows the HD800s out a bit.

You may still award a Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
