I suppose that I would call myself an audiophile with bloated expectations and a thin wallet. I couldn't exactly afford an NAD source, so I opted for an Optimus CD3400 as part of my main rig. (I paid $125) Whether or not everyone thinks this was a wise choice for a source, I believe it definitely pays for itself because I can take it where ever I go (I can't use it while moving of course).
I also have a JMT Meta42 amp that use in conjunction with Sennheiser HD600's. Although this may not seem like the most minimalist system, trust me, it took almost a year to get the cash to buy all this stuff.
Anyways, I'm faced with the last upgrade option available at this level of audiophile-quality listening. THE CABLE. I really don't want to spend another $150 or $200 on extra cables if it won't make that much of a sonic difference. Basically, if I don't get a substantial improvement using a CD3400, Meta42 amp, Senn HD600 with upgrade cable, then I figure I might as well wait another year or so till I can afford an NAD source.
Given my budget/gear, does anyone has suggestions?
