Hi, I am currently looking to upgrade from Sony WH 1000m4 and a wired ATH M50X. Disappointed with the sound of the ATH I recently added a helm bolt DAC which I attach to an iPad Air 4 or pixel 4a 5g. It still doesn’t sound as good as the Sony. I was looking to upgrade to a Sundara or HD660 with a Zen 2 dac. However, if my ageing ears (67) can’t tell the difference with the current dac would I just be better spending all the money on best headphones I can afford and use the current dac. I listen via headphones and Apple Music for a couple of hours every evening in the garden to the likes of Pink Floyd, Eno, chilled rock and world music singers such as Yasmin Levey and Mariza. I don’t think it’s too nosy for open back headphones. Thanks for any advice.
