My main gear currently are an Ifi Zen DAC and some nice Hifiman 4xx plugged into them.
No matter what, I keep coming back to these two. I have other gear, not this is the one that pleases me the most. It is not my endgoal, but it’s superb to my ears.
Ah the dreaded Hifiman QC. I’m waiting for the day my 4xx’s break. Not looking forward to it.
