Hi everybody,
I found more than one person satisfied with the general Fiio-AKG K601/K701 combo, mainly becouse this king of dac/amp add that bit of warmth to AKG analytical headphones.
I've just order a pair of K601, and... which is the best Fiio in you opinion? I'd listen to music from my Samsung Galaxy S3, that has a quite nice DAC itself, and may only need amplification (in my ears, it sound slightly better that any Apple device). But I'd also like to add a good portable DAC to my PC if possible.
I chose the Fiio brand because others are often very difficult to purchase from Italy, due to extremely high cutom taxes (30% of the item value more or less + weeks of waiting for custom absurd processes).
-E17 + eventually E9 amplifier? (maybe better performance, less portability, around 100+100€)
-Or E11 amp + E10 DAC/AMP for the PC? (more portability, around 60+60€)
-Another choice could be Topping D1-MKII (70€).
-Or maybe do you suggest to save something more and step up to Meier audio PCSTEP or Matrix Mini Portable?(250€ tag price)
Thanks a lot
