    Gustard X16 Balanced MQA DAC Review

    Topping A90 Headphone Amplifier Review

    I have this combo and it’s fantastic. The low gain mode is great for IEMs. I’m only using the Dunu 17th Anniversary and it sounds amazing.

    What headphone(s) do you own ?

    Dunu 17th Anniversary. Not sure if they're the most accurate, but definitely the perfect balance for me. Treble and upper mids are tamed and bass is nice.

    what you probably need is a BT card for your PC and connect your headphones directly to that. I highly doubt connecting to a DAC in the way you’re describing will improve fidelity.
