I went straight to listening Dookie... man, what an album!

Genau!

I am so grateful of all your answers. I ended going with the following combo (mostly all of this bought second-hand here and r/avexchange): Portable: ES-100 MK2 + Fiio FH7 (best headphones I've heard in my life) Desktop: ADI-2 DAC FS + HD650 (I love the DAC+AMP small combo, with a small...

Nope, you are not the only one!

uuuh Love that lamp... care to share the name and model?

The urge for more is something so... human. I've decided to keep what I have and make one last upgrde (RME + Audeze) give this combo a go for a couple of months, and if I don't like it, sell it as a bundle for cheap (<30% less of my current paying price). I want to "experience" what it is to...
