Planning to make one purchase for 2020 that'll last me years
currently using the M11 with an Anole VX, want a source upgrade
Lately, I've been easily swayed by DAP's DAC chips and price-to-performance. Although I know the chip isn't everything in a dap, I keep staring at the double AK4499 in the M15, I guess I'm a marketing whore...
I'm currently considering:
M15 for the chips and because it just came out
M11 Pro if the M15 reviews say its not worth it and the THX amp still sounds better
LP6000 because of a video from Z Review saying its better than the M11 Pro, and a Headfonia review saying it has wider soundstage than the SE1000
LPGT, probably the only TOTL I'd buy at the moment, mostly because the SE2000 to me seems like too much luxury in material, and the name adds quite the premium, and the N8 Seems not to be to my taste (i don't need heaps of power, and the tubes probably won't satisfy my want for lots of air and hyper detail)
Haven't considered the WM1A or the WM1Z since they haven't had an update (however I could totally be wrong and ignorant)
Also considering a portable DAC so I can use my phone interface to control it, and because I feel it will take longer for it to be obsolete (unlike Fiio's Android 7)
Thanks
