Hey,
I registered today after lurking for while. Reading here heavily influenced my decision to return my Audio GD R2R-11 today, which I got in the first place because of all the positive comments across the internet. Also I fell for the description how it supposedly sounds I know some people still like it but i would rather get something which measures better. So thank you already for the content here.
I would appreciate advice on which dac, amp combo to get which is somewhat future proof. What i mean by that, is that i would (ideally) like to buy something which does not limit my choice in what headphones to get in the future. Also i do not really want to think about different dacs and amps for some time as it drove me crazy already the last couple of days.
My bugdet is around 600,00 Euro, maximum 800,00 Euro. Also I am looking for balanced amps / dacs, as i play the music only from my pc atm.
For amps i was looking at the Monoprice Monolith THX 887. It seems to be able to drive almost any headphone.
For dacs my own research narrowed it down to the SMSL SU-8 v2 and the Schiit Modius (mainly for budget reasons).
What do you guys think about the mentioned products? Any other recommendations?
Also if I am delusional with my budget / goal here please tell me
