I've been looking at many different dac/amp combos and managed to narrow it down to these:
FiiO/Snowsky Melody
IBasso Jr. Macaron
TRN Black Pearl
Neohipo H1
Aiyima H2
Fosi audio k5 pro
And the wild card jcally jm20 max + potentially buying a pair of kz x hbb pr2 as i want to try out some planars for the first time and its the cheapest option(im on a really tight budget).
Any one of these will be bought from aliexpress as i found the best deals there for my country with the budget being around max 210 romanian lei, 50 us dollars or around 40 euro.
The dac/amp will mostly be used on pc (idk if the dongles work or not so that's one of my questions aswell.)
I own a pair of tangzu wan'er and a pair of superlux hd668b as of right now, i may upgrade in the distant future to some sennheiser hd599 or maybe even hd600, i've also been looking at the he400se or edition xs from hifiman as a potential upgrade down the road. Also, i might try and use the dac/amp with my phone on the go from time to time and im aware that the neohipo and the fosi maybe wouldnt work.
Which one do you guys think is the best choice?
