So, I am currently using the fostex hpa8 dac/amp with my th900s.
I am thinking about upgrading to the abyss 1266 phi tc - and from what I’ve read, my amp may have a hard time driving them. (Info on this would be nice! If I could use this reasonably and save for a better amp later on I would be happy)
Also, would it be better to buy an entirely new amp/dac, or keep my current hpa8 as a dac and buy an amp to go with it?
Any recommendations that may pair nicely with these? I’m very interested in trying a tube amplifier if anything, I like a little color to my sound generally.
My current budget would probably be sub 1k$ (will upgrade to something crazy and expensive like the audiovalve solaris later on)
