Hello all, Im fairly new here. Im wanting to get serious and invest a decent amount of money in creating an awesome portable rig that I can put in my messenger bag to travel to and from work with.
So far all I currently have are Beyer DT770 pro 80ohms and an Iphone 3G.
I use my Beyers everyday, they go everywhere with me. I feel a little silly on the train wearing them, but I dont care caus I love them so much.
I have been going around in circles with choosing a portable amp. So far I have decided that having a Dac/Amp combo isnt really needed, as I want to concentrate on a pure portable amp. Im from the UK so availability is limited, but I dont mind importing from overseas. Ive read good things about RSA but that would mean importing. I know of a UK website that sells Ibasso products.
I will at somepoint be investing in a desktop amp to use with my pc, this is why I would preferably go for a dedicated portable amp to use with my Iphone. Im thinking about getting some HD 650s when I upgrade my desktop.
Headphone wise I really like the Grado line of cans for use with my iphone. The prestige series seems very appealing to me. However as I am new to this, my knowlage/experience is not that great. Im not to taken on the idea of IEMs, Id much prefer over the head style cans.
I am totaly lost with cables, Is it best to get custom cables made from Head-Fi boardies? What high end Lods and mini-mini cables should I be looking to get? Are there certain brands that are better? Ive seen awesome pictures in the gallerys on this forum of chunky mini-mini cables that looks great.
If the experienced fellas here at Head/Fi could recommend me a high-end portable setup, that would be so awesome. Music that I most listen to Is hardcore punk / rock type stuff if thats much help.
Thanks.
