Hello, just made an account to post this. So, nice to meet you all?
Couple of months ago i've been surfing head-fi looking for decent cans and i ended up buying DT880 (Premium 250ohm) and i am using it with a fiio e11 with my laptop and nexus 4. I am happy with the sound im getting even though i know that my laptop's internal DAC is terrible, just like my phone's.
After some research i found a good combo (Schiit Modi Dac > Any decent tube amp, like LD MK2).
I chose a tube amp because it takes the edge off the highs, and sometimes DT880's treble is too much for me.
I have two questions:
1) Is there a better DAC/Amp for the price?
2) Upgrading from a bad laptop dac and an e11, will the difference be big? More importantly, will it be worth it?
If there's a better DAC or Amp combo please tell me.
