Going balanced or clas for um miracles?...

[John0405]

Hello,
I currently have a pico slim amp paired with miracle iems. I would like to improve this setup... Which step should I take then: purchase a clas dac, or would it be preferable to go balanced with sr71b or another balanced amp ?
Thanks for your help. :rolleyes:

I gather your using an ipod?
Well it will depend on how much $$$ you want to throw at this. I personally thought that the CLAS + ALO RXII had quite a good synergy happening, this was SE only. But then I tried The RXIII but again only in SE and to my ears stepped it up a notch. No doubt Balanced would be even better again.
Speaking of which, a fellow Aussie Headfier had the CLAS + SR71B Balanced combo and was extremely impressed.
 
Try and demo these if you can, because we all are different and you will make up your own mind.

Yes. Im using an iPod. I really would like to try the clas but the price is quite steep. I'll try to find it on the For sale forum, but it's hard to find one available.
Thx

The reason I pointed out $$$ is if also you wanted to go Balanced rig then also you are looking at extra aftermarket cables, and that is not cheap.
