Hi. Current set up is:
AK Jr
Fiio E12 Mont Blanc
Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 in ear (main), PSB M4U2 (travel)
I am happy with the AK Jr (recent purchase) but wanted to upgrade headphones and potentially the portable amp.
Ideal headphones
great reproduction of original recording if any leaning then towards bass end
good isolation
can be driven with or without amp
I'm not sure whether the last point is true for these, but I had been looking at Oppo PM3 or Shure SRH1540
Diverse option
1. One good pair of home listening open backs (i.e. Grado) to be used with amp
1. One good pair of closed backs that can be driven by AK Jr alone without portable amp. Good isolation would be needed as these would be used regularly when riding buses trains etc. I had been looking at Momentum 2.0, Denon AH-MM400, P7 & H6
Portable amp
Just to add some complexity (!), the Oppo HA2 had caught my eye as having very good reviews and wondered if anyone had experience of whether this would be much of a step up from my Fiio E12 Mont Blanc.
Thanks in advance
