Hello everyone, I am a novice and live in a very remote area so it is not possible for me to audition any headphones. I realize there is much posted opinion on all of these headphones...in fact it is almost overwhelming and I find it difficult to make a choice. I have been using Grado RS 1's for many years and now wish to upgrade with the objective of a more three dimensional soundstage...more sound in the "middle", good separation of instruments, and adequate bass. I listen to a wide vairiety of music. My audio stream is computer/JRiver Audio - $150 usb - V-Link 192 by Musical Fidelity - Musical Fidelity M1 DAC - Little Dot MK IV SE - Grado RS 1's.
I lean towards the Grado's because I have found the RS 1's pleasing, and the build quality seem sturdy.....but the 800's seem highly regarded, as are the Audze LCD3's with 'newer technology'(?). I am concerned my headphone amp is not good enough for the 800's? Postings mention them as being very particular in that regard.
I would greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you.
