Hi,
I am pretty new at all this audiophile stuff but I've been slowly getting involved. I had the Grado sr60 but got fed up with the tiny bass as I listen to alot of electronica although they smashed at rock. Anyways sold those...
Now I'm looking for a replacement and I think I'll be going for the ATH-M50 as I can get them for about $110 and they seem to be quite good all rounders for the price. Also if you have any other headphone recommendations under $150 please do (mainly listen to rock and electronica, but also classical, reggae, acoustic stuff ).
Now finally my main question. I have a 27" iMac and when I was using the grados there was a massive improvement in sound quality compared to using them with my MacBook. Now if I get the m50 I'll be using them only on the iMac and I was wondering if I get for example the udac 2 will I get a massive improvement over the iMac sound quality? Basically is it worth spending $100 for the udac. I would love to get recommendations on dacs/amps that connect through USB and are under $150. I really don't need it to be portable as it will sit with the iMac. Also I use iTunes and almost all my music is in alac and the rest 320.
Loads of thanks!
