Current setup:
Dell Studio Slim PC -----> uDac2 -------> Sony TA-AX500 integrated amplifier ----> Senn HD595
The sound of this combination is solid, although I feel like I've been experiencing the limitations of the 595s the more I listen, especially with rock/prog metal music. The highs are too peaked and bass is almost non-existent...just lacks that impact.
My situation is that I have a family friend who is offering me a very nice deal on a slightly used Musical Fidelity X-Canv3. My musical tastes follow this general preference pattern: Prog Metal/Rock, Female Vocalists, Jazz, Soundtracks. With this all said, would the purchase of the X-Can be worth it? Should I hold onto that money and maybe go for a different set of headphones to suit my rock tastes better instead?
If, by your judgements, you think that the X-can will make a significant difference in SQ and performance, then I will surely go for it. If it will only make a marginal difference, then I may just hold back and not go for it. As you're all well aware of, it's really the thought of that new piece of equipment and hearing something different that I'm so into the idea for, but I want to be sure it's worth spending that money.
Thanks all.
