So I'm new to DAPs and IEMs.
I've bought a handful of good IEMs recently and yes, they certainly reveal more detail than the $10 ear-buds I got off amazon, probably more than the $60 Sony ear-buds I had for ages... But I'm wondering, are they really THAT amazing? And is that actually down to the fact that my source is still my crappy smartphone with Blackplayer playing compressed 192kbps AACs?
Will I get the "aha!" moment when I'm playing CD quality files off a dedicated high-end DAP?
Is it 50% IEM - 50% DAP?
Or 80% IEM - 20% DAP?
Something else?
Curious to hear your thoughts! Thanks.
