I don’t believe it is the 100 as I already have a pair and they are quite different. I was thinking it’s a 155 but I’m also thinking they look different too… hmm

I think the newer ones come with CP100. If you are getting them, there's a slightly newer version, CP100+, with a slightly thinner/tackier/better silicone. CP100 fit, anyway, and are SpinFit's most popular tip. SpinFit W1 are a newer more expensive tip that is also decent. Personally, I use Moondrop Spring Tips on mine (Tia Trio).

I love my Crusher Evo's. They are like the weekend warrior of headphones. They are out for a good time, getting blackout drunk at nightclubs, busting the sickest moves out on the dance floor, projectile vomiting on cocktail waitresses and the next day waking up in some random persons bed, time to escape! When the weekend is over the Hifimans come back out, put their suit and tie on and do the 9x5 grind.

lol okay, maybe not that colorful but they are a lot of fun and sound good, great headphone to accompany your everyday driver when you just want to let loose and let your basshead fantasies run wild. Instant smile.

Crushers have their purpose, its a basshead paradise and nothing else. Ive had deep rooted earwax get pushed out after an hour of max bass listening on my pair. I think theyre great, as long as sound quality isnt your first priority. Also most of (id say 90%) of friends who arent experienced in the audiophile space love the crushers the most out of my small collection. The faces they make after listening to a song like massive attack by angel never let me down. Its something else

nice and clean

It looks like you have an AT LP-60x turntable, so you could upgrade it with a rubber or cork mat (might improve stability while playing, will likely avoid static issues like the original felt mat lifting up when removing a record), and you could upgrade the stylus to an elliptical diamond one.

Amplifiers vary in efficiency. This depends on their design. The less efficient, the excess power needs to be vented as heat. It depends too on stuff like the case design, the K5 Pro I think has a quite big (and particularly tall) case most of which is empty. I know with some other stuff, like Topping has one small amp, the A30 Pro, which does a very large amount of power but in a very small case, and it reportedly gets very hot, hotter than something like the A90 which has similar power but in a larger case. The A30 needs ventilation holes all over which the A90 doesn't. The dongle I have that gets hot, the MoonRiver 2, is also particularly thin for the power level.

> Any suggestions on what I need to upgrade next?

The question of upgrading is honestly as much philosophical in this hobby as anything. You can always chase something else, and different headphones will perform better for certain genres than others, or highlight different aspects of the tracks.

If you really did want something else, you'd have to first state your preferences. Are you currently content with the Deva? Is there anything you feel they are missing? If not, maybe just enjoy them!
