Hey all,
Currently I mostly use a 2020 Utopia, having been on the headphone upgrade path for 3 years now. I think I'm done chasing after more headphones, but now I'm wondering:
Would an external amp, still connected to the RME as a DAC, make sense - and if so, which one would you choose? I briefly tried a Violectric HPA V200, which was warmer but not necessarily better, and a Feliks Audio Euforia, which was hit or miss with a mix of planars and dynamics.
Now... for the same kind of convenience at a higher level, I would almost need to buy something like the Feliks Audio Envy or, on the SS side, a Zähl HM1 it seems - or which device, amp or dac/amp, would be a solid upgrade?
Cheers!
