On a previous thread, I would thank for all the advices and recommendations from all nice people in this forum! Sorry! There are too many names for me to thank. I will upgrade my active speakers from Fostex PM0.3d to Adam T5V. I think it is a safe one to use without EQ, while I am not using the output from computer.
And I am now have to find DAC or amplifier to drive them, which they deserve. And also a more suitable amplifier for my headphones. Amplifiers with balanced XLR output are usually high-end models. Like the Topping A90 and the not yet released Topping A30Pro. I am considering a replacement on my FX-Audio DAC-X6 as well.
Even though Topping L30 is a great option for my budget, I am comparing it with JDS Labs Atom. Because Atom got one more 3.5mm SE input, which allows me to amplify the output right from my computer monitor. Which I sometimes use the output from my computer monitor for gaming or entertainment for example Netflix.
I have these headphones:
- Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro
- Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro
- Sennheiser HD6XX (Massdrop version)
- Fostex T60RP I could never drive them properly...
- AKG K701
- AKG K240s
And I can't remember all the others...
And then I might pair my Adam T5V with Gustard X16 DAC for serious listening. And JDS Atom for less serious listening like gaming or Netflix. Then later when I have more budget to upgrade my amplifier, I can upgrade to A30Pro or something with the inputs I need.
I can get Gustard X16 at about 340 Euro on Taobao excluded shipping cost. My budget on DAC & Amp will be more or less 500 Euro.
