Good evening forum,
I've lurked this site for hours and hours now, to the point where I now haven't got much sleep this week. I'm moving into a small apartment and need to buy myself a setup of closed cans, dac and amp. After much decision-making I've ordered a pair of MrSpeakers Alpha Dog - in the end, one cannot resist to be fascinated by the project of making this can (and the sound should be amazing, of cause).
I need your advice picking the right dac/amp combo for this pair. I am looking for a combo with juice enough for the alphas, but room for more needing cans is not a priority. I would be happy to find a somewhat portable set, which I can bring with me to the university, but a desktop solution is not frowned upon. Furtheremore it would be a bonus if I could use the dac function seperatly with studio monitors while at home. How much sound quality differs from desktop to portables, I don't know. Maybe you can inform me here aswell?
At the moment I am concidering following options:
Portable - Apex Glacier, Leckerman Audio UHA6S, O2+Odac, C5D, Aune B1
Desktop - Audio GD NFB-XX, Schiit Magni/Modi Uber, Aune T1
Which of these do you think would pair the best with the soundsignature of my alphas?
My music preferences:
60% blend of jazz, soul, r&b and other rythmic genres, 30% electronical music 10% classical
My soundsignature preferences:
Tight and rhytmical > enjoyable mids and lows (tho' neutral) > open, wide soundstage > clarity and detail
I hope you can help me order the right combo. What would be the best overall sound, what would be the best match and what would be the best bang-for-the-buck?
Other recommendations are much welcome!
Thank you in advance!
