Hi guys, as you can see i've just signed up and i'm really new here... so i hope this is the right place to post this...
I've been reading up a little bit over the last few days on all of the parts required to make a rig from scratch, and from this i've come up with the following:
- Sansa Fuze/Clip+ 8GB + 32GB microsd ($60)
- Fiio L2/L6 ($13)
- Fiio E11 ($70)
- Head-Direct RE0 ($99)
I'm looking for something that covers all required components for about $350AUD. I'll be sourcing most parts from ebay, and the IEM's from an online australian supplier.
I just have a few questions with this setup....
Firstly, does the class of the microsd really matter much? There seems to be a fair price difference between lets say... class 4 and class 10 cards.
Also, would it be more effective if i were to drop the portable amp, and just spend more money on the headphones ($180 vs $100+amp)? I've heard the RE0's are lacking somewhat in the bass department, therefore i thought the amp would help with that and warm up overall sound.
For reference, i'll generally be listening to hip-hop, so bass is pretty essential. Most of my music is encoded at 256-320kbps, no FLAC as of yet.
The only real requirements of this setup is that the storage capacity is 40GB+ and that the SQ is pretty reasonable.
So... if someone could critique my proposed build, or even suggest a new one that would be great.
Cheers guys, looking forward to the responses!
