For some time I'm quite happy with the HD595. But after I had a chance to listen to HD 650 with Grace M902, Upgraditis got the best of me. Right now I'm using HD595 with an X-Fi XtremeMusic card. I'm wondering which should be my next upgrade. Having analyzed the advantages of both from my subjective view, I would like you to help me decide.
1.Denon D5000
- Closed (I'm having a little problem with noise, ny house is adjacent to the road. And the notorious traffic in BKK, you know -_-")
- Improvement in SQ
- Could grab it in 4-5 months (I'm just a university student, so my budget is quite tight.)
- My HD595 could be sold before the price should drop further (if I decide to buy Stello, I guess the price should drop at least 30USD or more before I save enough to get a Denon)
2.Stello DA100
- Improvement in SQ (I guess this should be a huge leap, since my source now is quite crappy)
- Could fix my weakest link (I have no proper DAC right now)
- Might be some time before I have enough money (Maybe 9-12 months)
I listen mostly to Jazz, Classical, Vocal and a bit of Rock and Pop.
