I’ve been enjoying the DCA E3. One of the better (best?) closed-backs I’ve heard.
Highly recommend a listen.

Have you compared it to the Aeon Nore?
I gotta say. The LCD XC 2018 or 2021 edition is still an amazing and notable closed back headphone, especially when given a proper EQ profile! 
I can easily recommend the Schiit Loki Mini+. Hardware based EQ in the analog domain is amazing with this headphone. The LCD XC responds so well to EQ, which is why I think it is still a monster in the audio world.
DCA E3 are the best closed backs I’ve ever heard, but they lack the strengths of closed backs. Treat them like a pair of good open backs and you’ll be happy, if you expect that cozy resonant bass in typical closed back fashion or a veritable intimate globe/wall of sound, you will be disappointed.
They have 1 special strength that open backs don’t have, a little (very little) isolation and a pitch black background, for better and for worse. I find when music isn’t playing there’s almost a vacuum feeling from the lack of sound, like ANC but it doesn’t actually dampen that much from the outside, only the inside-out.
