-Picked up a Cambridge DACMagic 200M and a Rega IO amp to go with HD800S.
-The sound is unfavorable, in that the bass is light and the highs are somewhat too emphasized at times. This may just be the HD800S sound and they’re actually not my endgame. I hope not though; I love their soundstage.
-I’ve considered a tube amp to pair better. Thoughts? If this is a good idea, what do you recommend? $1k or less. Preferable $500 or less, but willing to stay under $1k if possible. The idea would be to keep the DACMagic 200M.
-Also considered a Chord Mojo 2 for my MacBook Pro as source. How would this perform?
Thanks for the input,
