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?
Went from schiit magni 3 modi 3 stack to a Topping L70/E70 stack. Not much difference to be honest apart from a smoothed out top end.
I mainly bought the amp for the remote and the DAC to match it for the looks.
Bloody expensive upgrade tbh but happy with the setup now because it’s better for me to use rather than upgrading for the sound.
