Hi guys
So i'm fairly new to the audiophile world, and i've been using some mediocre portable equipment for a while (fiio E5 and ATH-M50)
i finally got some cash together, and now i'm in the market for a pair of IEMs and a good DAC/Amp all together for around $700-$800
 
I've heard surprisingly good things about the Turbines, and they seem to be a good price range to look at.
Any suggestions?
 
Also, i'm outputting from an iPod Touch gen 4, and, if i get a USB-in DAC, then would the ALO iPod Dock-USB cable be worth it, or is there any tangible difference from a normal USB cable?

I will recommend to try Cypher Labs Solo with some highend IEMs like Westone 4, Sony EX1000, JVC FX700 and IE8.

thanks man, i was looking into the AlgoRythm for a while, kind of wondering if it was worth that price tag
gonna do a little more research on the IEMs, thinking about spending a bit more and getting some 1964 ears, just because i've never been a huge fan of universal fits
