I've decided i would like to start piecing together my dream rig
amp
I am pretty sure i want a decware CSP2
Headphones:
I'm pretty sure i dont want grados, just b/c everyone describes them as sounding, well, not the way i prefer. I want full cans, open or closed does not matter.
its very unlikely that ill be able to try before i buy. I listen to a very wide variety of music, but not much straight up rock or heavy metal.
I currently have denon ahd 2000, decware zen head amp, and keces mkII dac.
Headphones I am considering but definitely not limited to:
sennheiser hd800
audio technica w5000 ( I actually dont know if these compare to the others on the list)
beyer t1
denon d7000
leaning towards T1, hd800 or w5000, would specifically like to hear more about w5000
DAC
Im leaning towards a - Benchmark DAC1 USB though i havent dont nearly enough research on Dac's yet
I am hoping to buy all this gear used
I will very likely be running from my PC, win764bit foobar wasapi...
I would like some advice
-Could you all give a BRIEF BRIEF BRIEF description as to why you would choose 1 headphone over another or recommend another i havent listed in this quality range? Ive considered STAX and TakeT setups, and they are still up for consideration, but i just get the feeling it aint gonna happen.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT START A FLAME WAR OR HIJACK THIS THREAD ARGUING ABOUT WHY 1 PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS MORE BALANCED THAN THE OTHER...PLEASE!!!!
Thanks alot
Upgrade-itis is a BITCH! I havent even put 60 hours on my new gear ;-)
