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.
Love the power and clarity of both the Hip Dac 2 and the Qudelix 5K, but it’s fun to play with sound signature on the Qudelix for IEMs and headphones.
