Hi there,
I'm a bit of a newbie at the whole headphone amp/DAC part of things, but I have a nice little home studio that I've built around an Apogee Duet 2 and I want to make sure that I'm getting the most of out of my output. I'm currently use this setup for vocal and instrument recording, mixing, and also passive listening.
I've been considering a headphone amp to support my Sennheiser HD-280s and AT M50s, but I had a question I'm hoping someone has an answer for:
Given the Duet 2 works as a DAC already, I ruled out the need of something like the Fiio E7, but I was then wondering - would adding something like the Fiio E11 to the chain make a better quality output? What I want is a clean representation of the music I'm recording, but also a sound that isn't too clinical or cold for more of my passive listening needs. Would an additional headphone amp benefit me at all? Or is what the Duet 2 offers going to give me everything I want?
Thanks for any input anyone out there has!
