Hi, as you can see from my post count I'm new to this community and, yes, I've searched the forum before creating this thread, but I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of messages about these cans and how to amp them, so bear with me.
When I ordered the MS-1000 I thought I had plenty of home amplifiers (three from old 90s rigs, between home and office) to drive them, but as a matter of fact I have none, because they're all either dead or malfunctioning.
So I need enlightment: I've got two portable amps I use with my IEMs: GoVibe Single and Linearossa W1. Are these good enough for my needs? I'm not going to use those cans anywhere but home, so I'm not looking for portability. But portable amps and DAPs are all I have to drive them; my desktop's motherboard integrated audiocard has an awful and persistent electric noise.
I feel the urge to spend money on portable amps, bigger sound cards, DACs, more powerful DAPs... I don't know if you understand.
What should I do now? buy a Xonar Essence STX to kill two birds with one stone? or maybe a desktop amplifier like the Fiio E9 ? or just make do with what I've got?
Please, I really need some discerning advice.
Thanks in advance
