Hi, newbie and ex-lurker here, seeking some advice for a new setup :)
I'm interested in a iFi Zen Dac V2 or V3 setup, vs a Schiit Vali/Modi/Loki stack, or a JDS Atom stack.
I've heard some criticisms of iFi recently, but enjoy their xBass feature a lot - my favorite setup so far has been IMR...
Hi!
Any suggestions for a portable DAC/AMP that can fully exploit the potential of Hifiman Edition XS?
At the moment I have a balanced 2.5 cable with a ddaudio 2.5 to 4.4 adapter
My primary source is my phone and sometime the laptop but always on the go, away from a power outlet...
Been using a pair of Sennheiser HD560S for a bit over a year now, they sound good but I think I'm ready to upgrade.
So far I've narrowed down my options to these (lowest to highest $):
- Verum One MKII - $350
- HiFiman Edition XS - $380
- Audeze MM-100 - $400
- HiFiman Ananda Stealth - $400
