So I'm thinking of making use of one of the many generous return policies out there in the retail market, and get to play with a set of headphones and headphone amp, or DAC/amp combo, for 30-60 days. I have been without a headphone setup for the better part of two years (been kinda brutal), and would love to have a little fun with a setup for a brief time. The wife isn't in an approving state of me dropping money on a permanent setup.
That being said, I'm looking to drop between $1,000-$1,500 for a pair of headphones (open-back preferred), a headphone amp (interested in a nice tube amp), or a DAC/amp combo. My current budget/"get-by" DAC is a Nuforce uDac-2se, which is being utilized in my budget speaker system. I'm thinking maybe some mid-upper level Grados, Audeze EL-8s, or the like. I'm wide open to headphone amp or DAC/amp suggestions.
Based on that, please feel free to share your thoughts, opinions, or suggestions of what I should consider. I've got an itch, and I intend on scratching it, damnit!
