I have the opportunity to buy a Black Cube Linear for a good price. I currently have a HEADFIVE and use ATH W5000s or Sennheiser 495s depending on mood. Source wise I am using a CEC DA53 DAC fed from bit-perfect FLAC.
I am really happy with the HEADFIVE, but was wondering if the BCL might be able to push things a bit further, particularly with the W5000s. I like the HEADFIVE sound. Generally I like involving music, but with smooth sparkling highs and clear, strong vocals. I listen to a lot of rock so guitar reproduction, separation and coping with poor recordings is important.
Really, the BCL would have to be a major step up to make it worth it. Anyone care to comment or should I just leave this one?
