I have the Sennheiser HD600, Neumann NDH-30, Audeze LCD-X.
I use these with my SSL2 hp out, and with Qudelix 5K.
I spoke to someone about my impressions and his first question was: which dac/amp? and when I told, he just winked.
So my question is: is the difference this obvious with a more expensive dac/amp combo? Should I spend another 6-800 euro to get one? Do your headphones open up/perform that much better?
No. You have a Qudelix. Unless you’re trying to drive a truck with them, like maybe 15-20 headphones on earth that require more juice than the balanced output is capable of putting out to reach safe listening volumes, you have everything a person could want for in the world.
so much to read, thanks
