Hi guys,
It's been a while I've been reading you but it's only today I'm finally posting.
I am actually facing a difficult decision and looking for your opinion.
I'm a 24 year old guy, having some fun from time to time on my ableton push through the NI audio 2 DJ (this one with cirrus logic http://www.head-fi.org/products/native-instruments-traktor-audio-2) and the focal Spirit Professional.
I don't want to get this headset out of my apartment and I am getting sick of the cheap IEM delivered with my Lumia 830. So I am now ready to invest in something nice during my time in the subway, for 200€ DAP + IEM.
I have found a very nice price for the pack HM 700 + re400b below 200€ and a Sony NWZ-A15 at 120€, that's why I'm considering these 2 over fiio x1.
What do you think? I've read interesting stories about this combo, but maybe the focal professional would sound better on the fiio since it's not balanced? (I don't really care using the adaptor cable for the focal)
What about the core question: Fiio X1 + RHA ma750 or hifiman hm700 combo?
I mainly listen to house like Maya Jane coles, techno as Max Cooper, post rock also but I'd say I'm more in the electronic side of music.
Thanks a lot for your help, and any other ideas are warmly welcomed!
