Hey there guys, I am completely new to this world of awesome audio.
It has been a year or so since I bought a pair of Audio Technica A900 headphones, and a Fiio E7 DAC/amp. I play mostly FLACs from my PC to the E7 to my headphones.
The thing is now I have have free cash that I can spend and thought it would the be the perfect time to upgrade a little.
Now I have been looking into getting a DAC, but for the life of me I cannot choose one. I have also been looking into getting a tube amp, since I have wanted one for a while.
So far I am looking into the following DACs:
- DACport LX
- Schiit Bifrost
- Maverick Audio Tube Magic D1
And these two amps:
- Schiit Valhalla
- Little Dot MK IV Tube amp
Leaning towards the Bifrost and the Valhalla, but if there are any other suggestions it would be great. Also, I don't know about much tube rolling or any of that. Any help is greatly appreciated.
A few more information that I thought would be helpful.
The type of Music I listen to:
- Classic Rock
- Modern Rock
- Alternative Rock
- Indie Rock and a little indie Pop
- Trance
- House
- Electro
- Other electronic music
For now I have the Audio Technica A900, soon I might get a Beyer Dynamic DT880 or DT990; or a Sennhieser HD650; or a Denon D2000.
Again, any help is greatly appreciated.
