A true Audiophile would have backup headphones specifically for such case.

You would be surpised how many people here think that DAC is DAC/AMP combo.
I see that you mean DAC as DAC, not amp. In that case you right!

Maybe try to understand about powering headphones and how much power is needed. It can be calculated.
But yeah, why bother. Just get dac/amp and be safe.

Yeah, but $2k dac/amp would provide even more "full potential", right?

Reply to comment by owlbgreen357 in Anyone else playing warzone with stereo headphones? …….Taking a break from playing until next Thursday for Warzone2. I hope to continue to maximize my competitive advantage with these HD800s. I can hear other players before they hear me. by [deleted]
Headphones do not give you any significant advantage, the volume do.
More detailed headphones like DT1990, will present more details in sound, but it does change the fact that there was a foot step somewhere around you. In my opinion, DT1990 does the opposite of helping. There amount of details I hear, does not help, but distract me from gaming. I do not want to hear how crispy or or how mistakes there are in the footstep sound. I just want to hear it.

And yet, there is a player on a server with cheap earbuds and owning whole server, because he hears what matters the most.

Well, to be honest HD555 are pretty good headphones.
Sennheiser reworked HD500 series a lot, so the sound quality scales with MSRP. Still, I think HD599 sound pretty good, HD599 could sound a bit more warm than your HD555 and have different sound signature.
Try listening HD599 with different device, like smartphone, to make sure that it is not your AV that colors the sound.

Reply to Built-in DAC? by GabolMarchewka
>wired headphones do not have built in dac because the signal they receive is already analogue
Yes
>Bluetooth headphones gave a dac because bluetooth transmission is digital so they have to convert it?
Yes
>Also could you theoretically utilize headphones built-in DAC if they are wired and would it be better than integrated dac in the motherboard?
I think so, yes. Integrated dac in the motherboard might have noise in it, so headphones built-in DAC might sound better. To connect such wired built-in DAC headphones with a PC, USB or other digital cable would be required.

Reply to Will freely rotating MMCX connectors shorten the lifespan of the MMCX socket? by ZimrMusic
The quality of cable and connectors varies on the maker.
I have Dunu Titan 5, that goes strong for more than 5 years now.
And unfortunatelly both my Tin Audio IEMs have issues with MMCX connector
