Hey everyone, couldn't really decide where this should really go. Decided computer audio as the setup is going to be strictly for my desktop use and just for music, I don't care about game or movie performance at all. I put a $500 budget, might be willing to stretch to $600 if someone sells me on something. For a reference of what I listen to think Pink Floyd and Tchaikovsky. I'd also be open to maybe having the headphones take a smaller slice of the budget to devote a larger sum to either a really nice dac or amp. One configuration I've been thinking:
Grado SR80s (i have a pair but they have been commandeered by my gf) w/ L Cush pads
Asus DSX or Schiit Modi
Schiit Valhalla
Also, If I went the cheaper headphone route I would possibly be able to get a couple pairs, it'd be nice to have a second pair to shine where the other doesn't. Was thinking maybe Sr80s and T50RPs? I'd like any thoughts.
This whole message could also be read as if you had to start all over again and had $600 max, what would you do?
