Hello, I've just bought the He1000v2 Stealth Edition. I'm really hyped to upgrade my path in the audiophile area. Now I need a good match of a dac/amp for that headphone!
My budget would be around 600€, is there any good recommendation? Or maybe invest only in an amplifier and upgrade with a dac in future? Since im a student and i saved money til that point, it would take some time though!
I've just ordered the Hifiman EF400, since I've heared many positive things about the sound signature. It measures poorly though and the Phasing Inbalance issue concerns me. The Topping Dac/Amps seem to dont provide a good soundstage, that's why I wouldn't go for that (My currently setup is the ATH-R70X with a Topping DX3 Pro+ though).
Priority for myself would be imaging, soundstage (width and depth), clarity, balance. Thanks for the help!
