Hi guys,
Although this is my first post I've been a lurker for quite some time.
Anyway, my main/daily is a set of DT990's, 250ohm. I use them mostly for gaming/music/movies, in that order.
Being from South Africa my choices for DAC's/AMPS are super limited. And the ones we do get locally are priced far above US pricing after import taxes etc. are added to the price, not to mention the importers markup. For Example; the Dragon Fly 1.2 is priced around $340 here.
I mate of mine imported 2 Geek Out 1000's but ended up using only one. I can acquire the other at the normal $300 pretty much cutting out shipping and import costs/taxes.
My second choice is importing a Shiit Magni 2 & Modi 2 non uber combo. This will pretty much also come to $300 US after shipping and taxes.
I've gone through many reviews but just can't make up my mind. My budget is limited to $300.
Can anyone give some insight what the pro's and con's would vs the above setups and whether I should be looking at something else?
Thanks in advance
