Finally set on buying the Clear's, now just trying to figure out the best Amp / Dac combo for them.

I'd probably be most interested in a budget all-in-one amp + dac (such as the JOTUNHEIM, or the Massdrop CTH + SDAC DAC/Amp) but feel free to suggest what ever you feel would be best!

Thank you <3

I’m using Jot + Bimby and I’m pretty happy but would recommend high quality sources as the Clears can be really revealing.

All - in - one? Benchmark DAC3. Period. Cheaper you say? Resonessence Labs Concero HP. Period.

Period? There are no absolutes in this hobby.

I'm using the CTH + Mimby with my Clears, and the combo sounds DIVINE.

It was meant more as an emphatic recommendation, not however to be taken as the last word. I'm sorry you took it that way and felt the need to call me out. Sigh.

I've heard that the clear's are much more forgiving, but that was compared to the HD800

Have you had the chance to compare them to the HD800?

 

[H-Money]

Questyles and Focals have great synergy.

I have not, sorry.

 

[RedVelvetLuna]

I have not, sorry.

But I'm guessing you really love the clears? I personally love kpop and things with female vocals and they seem great for it

 

[swmtnbiker]

Yes indeedy, I love the Clears! They're my first pair of $1000+ cans and the best headphones I've ever owned. I'm happy for the foreseeable future.

Frankly, you don't need to spend thousand dollars to make Clear sound divine. It is extremely efficient, so you don't need a powerful amp. The direct connection to your IPhone will be a good benchmark. Before you are going into a rabbit hole, make sure they sound better than the benchmark to your ears.

Does it creak at all? I've heard that complaint thrown around a bit.

I know, I wasn't looking to spend TOO much, was thinking of like a magni 3 / modi 2 or massdrop cth.
