Question Worth upgrading headphones?

[Friesiansam]

Firstly, I must make it clear that this is purely hypothetical, at least for the foreseeable future.

I have an Audiolab M-DAC and listen with a pair of Shure SRH1540s and I am very happy with the results, playing CD quality rips (WAV or FLAC) from my PC using Foobar2000 and ASIO for All, as recommended by Audiolab.

Does the M-DAC have enough to give such that a better pair of cans might sound appreciably better, should I suffer an attack of upgrade-itis in the future?

I'm jealous of your SRH1540s. I have some SRH840s here (mostly used for mixing, live and studio) and think they're brilliant.

Have you considered the open-backed SRH1840s?

No I haven't considered the 1840s, need closed back to keep my music to myself.
