Not to be rude but your headphones are no where near good enough to justify spending $700.00 on an amp/DAC..I have also owned Schiit gear & I myself was NOT impressed,finding the Hybrid Vali II amp highly microphonic..
With your budget I would get a new pair of HiFiMan Sundara & a Xduoo TA-22 Hybrid amp/Dac or even a pair of HiFiMan Ananda Nano & a budget amp/Dac from Topping,SMSL or Xduoo...
Advice for headphone amp and dac
Hi everyone. I am looking to get a headphone amp and dac. I have a pair of 70s Sennheiser 414 headphones. Pretty sure they are the 600ohm. I also have newer Grado headphones but I want to be able to use the 414s too so I want a headphone amp to drive them. I want to stream to this set up using my Mac Book. This will be my introduction to streaming. I am thinking to try streaming to listen to stuff I don't have. If I like it I will probably buy a LP if available. I listen 99% LP. CD every now and then. Maybe eventually I will get a dedicated streamer but it is not in the budget right now. I have researched Schiit and am considering Midgard/Modius combination. Maybe Lyr Headphone amp If I can stretch the budget when the time comes to purchase. Budget at this time is around $700.
What do you think?
