I don't know can I judge him. I listen to music all the time. Every imaginable genre that I happen to like. I'm not putting hundreds of thousands to my setup, but a good pair of headphones and a good headphone amp is a must for me in every office I work. Put some cash for Beyerdynamic DT-1770 Pro and been having a handmade headphone amp for the last 15 years, still using it. The sound cards differ, but now I'm ok with a Dragonfly serving the system.

If you spend most of your day wearing headphones, you might invest to them a bit.

Have you checked out the O2 headphone amp by nwavguy? It is mentioned in a toplevel comment in this thread.

I have a Corda HA2 mk3 and it still gives everything I need: enough punch to drive 250ohm headphones and a crossfeed to prevent fatigue when using them hours every day.

Maybe in 50 years when it breaks I'll get a new one :)
