New Head-Fier
Hello to fellow audiophiles out there.
After upgrading my headphone from T5P 2nd to Sennheiser HD800S, I've changed my headphone amp/dac to HDV 820 from the good old Marantz HD DAC1.
Lately, I've added Adam Audio A77X monitor speakers pairing them with HDV 820 as DAC.
So far, I am utterly happy with the sound it reproduces.
Much to my dismay however, the more a man has, the more he desires. Now I can't shake off the thought that this amazing monitor speakers may sound much better if I hook them up with a better or a proper DAC.
The product I ended up after days of browsing internet reviews is Matrix Element X or Sabre Pro.
But I couldn't find (not surprising though) any direct comparison between HDV 820 and the Matrix DACs.
Would there be a significant enough sonic improvement if I move to Element X from HDV 820?
I'd appreciate very much if anyone could give me some inputs or advice.
