I don't know whether this is the right place or not, but here goes (hear goes?) - doesn't one's hearing determine most things in terms of audio gear - so, get a hearing test, it'll point you in the right direction re buying fancy gear. I get - looks, features etc., but sound wise...? Isn't it...

So I've just listened to Roy Buchanan playing 'Hey Joe' on YouTube. 480p. Via Grado S80 headphones and a FiiO DAC and amp. Guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, vocals. Sounded great. Am I missing anything?

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but what is a 'musical' DAC?

I have an old Sony Network Walkman, 'HDD NW HD-3'. It charges and says that it connects to my Windows 10 PC, and the PC sees it as a USB drive. I have downloaded the Sony Music Player. I can transfer files to this player and they play via the PC. But the Walkman does not acknowledge any files...

Good evening people. So - I would really like one of these headphones. They are around the same price and availability here in the UK.  I've heard both but only very briefly, not enough to discern a great difference. I have a FiiO E09 and E07, but these would probably be used with an iPod...

...I have V Moda M80's (nice build, sound great to me, a tad uncomfy) and Bose AEw (bluetooth - it's the future! They sound lovely, if a bit quiet; maybe a bit more bass needed but otherwise perfectly fine for me). I actually listen to a lot of genres (classical, country, folk, alternative...
