Hey Head-Fi forum goers,
I purchased my first real pair of head phones this week and am as a giddy as a school boy to get them, I bought the Dennon AHD2000s. I read a lot and di a lot of research, I know they should be able to run fine from my iphone but I felt it would be almost sac-religious if I did not at the very least look into amps and DACs. Well I have become Alice in this situation, hopelessly lost in wonderland.
I start with the normal google searching reading some random headfi reviews and searching the forums. Then I hit this thread, here. This is when I really started to become confused. Then I talked to my brother in law who says I need to spend atleast 450 to get soem thing worth investing in. I have already spent 250 on headphones and spent weeks transferring my cd's to lossless mp3s. So sadly 450$ was not in the budget, so I searched further. I have read review after review and post after post, about how this goes best with this and it depends on if you want neutral or a deeper tone. Honestly I have no idea what end is up and more. I am looking at the iBasso sight right now.
To be realistic I would prefer not to spend over 150$, but I would say 200$ would not be out of the question. I just dont want to buy some thing that is junky and will break down in a week. I come to you guys (and girls) now because I have no clue at this point. My taste in music falls mainly in the jazz realm with secondary taste to classics like pink floyd and some folk style similar to that of Jack Johnson. So what should I do Head-Fi? I am lost
