Hi there,
I am new to this forum (and also to the Hi-res music world) so please be patient with me . I am interested in buying the AKG K701/702 or the Sennheiser HD598/599 in order to use them on my iMac (2011) and my iPhone X. Music source is streaming via Apple Music (so far, hi-res might be an option in the future), almost every possible genre (mostly electronic, but also Jazz, classic, rock). Now I am asking myself: do I also need a Dac/Amp like the Dragonfly Red plus the Jitterbug for great sound with these headphones? Would this be a good match? I do not want to spend too much money. My budget is roundabout 500€. As newbie I am afraid that I am not able to cherish a way too expensive setup at this stage.
Any help, recommendations or advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
Alex
