New Head-Fier
Hi all,
After my first topic that I made here I narrowed down my search for a first pair of open back headphones and possible dac/amp to the following options and I hope you can give me some advice here.
Headphones;
If I were to go for the Fidelio's, I most likely wouldn't need an amp (straight away) which makes up for the fact that the price is double that of the 990's.
However, somehow the 990's are more appealing to me. But... I would need an amp for that. Which brings me to the amp options;
Important for this would be future expandability in the future and that I can use the amp as a stand-alone solution without the need to plug these into a dedicated dac. (I want seperate audio sources for speakers and headphones, don't want to choose on the dac via what I want to listen.)
Short info about use. Gaming (league, final fantasy, some shooters), Spotify (from classic to deep house), Youtube/Twitch & Discord.
Hope you can once again help me.
Thx!
