I have recently gotten into the audio side of entertainment lately. I'm really enjoying my Sundara's right now.
I have been doing the usual...trying to find the perfect Audio combination for the price. One thing I have noticed, is that I seem to be a lot more sensitive to the quality of the AMP than the DAC.
I noticed a huge upgrade from anything to the Fiio K5 Pro. Which shouldn't make sense, the Fiio's dac scores are not the greatest. Then I noticed the GSX1000 with the ATOM sounds way better than before. This includes some easy to power headphones... I figured I would test the atom with other combinations, and it seemed to make a night and day difference compared to the default AMPS.
I would say it's all in my head, but I have to listen really closely for the DAC differences, I notice the AMP differences immediately.
