Hey guys!
Even though I read this topic almost completely, and a lot of reviews spreaded throught out many other topics, I'd still like to listen to your opinions once again, just to be sure hehehe.
I'm setting for Ortho, finally!
I currently have as a main rig a Denon D7000 and a Ultrasone Pro 900, with a Schiit Asgard amp and a Maverick D1 DAC.
Now, I've got a He-500 coming and will probably get an LCD-2 in the very near future, so I'm looking to upgrade both DAC and amp to a better level.
For all I've read, I've come to three possible choices:
1) Schiit Lyr + Schiit Bifrost
2) Burson HA-160DS
3) Audio-gd NFB-10SE
So far, I'm headed towards the Schiit combo, since I love the Asgard with the Denons and the 'Sones and think it's a bang for the buck.
It also gives me the possibility of tube rolling, which is great in case I eventually decide to change the sound signature.
What do you think provides the best sound quality, disregarding price?
Would I be doing a definately good move by choosing the Schiit combo? I mean, I'm worried about getting it and 6 months later having upgraditis again and ending up spending even more.
Lastly, price is not my main concern on the moment. So as far it's reasonable, I'm ok in spending more (I'm not sure how much, shoot me some ideas haha) IF it means getting the best SQ out of these phones.
BUT, if you tell me that you're quite sure that going with the NFB is pretty much the same than these other three, or even some more expensive rigs, I'd definately be happier in saving some.
Thanks for your time, and sorry the extremely long post!
Cheers from Brazil,
Stefano
