Hi all,
I'm having a first world problem and hoping to hear other peoples views on the following:
I am using my iPhone 6, Fiio amp, and my Sennheiser Momentums (The supposed over ear version, either way it's the larger cup version.) I have £400 to spend and I'm thinking it has to be one of these two things, Chord Mojo or the Oppo PM3 Hearphones.
Basically shall I replace my Momentums with the PM3's or add the Mojo to my existing gear?
I play the following source types:
Deezer HQ
My own 320 MP3 rips &
Flac's including 24bit/44.1 & 96 & 192khz using Onkyo HF Player on my phone, (although I wonder what I'm really getting as the phone's D/A converter is doing the work.)
Nonetheless I don't want a 'Hi-Res-or-not' debate as I have done many ABX tests on different equipment and set-ups and I can't tell the difference, I don't feel a difference, and with extended play I didn't feel any different. Sorry.
However, I can tell the difference between Apple's ear buds, the highly acclaimed 'What Hi-Fi's' award winning headphone, the AKG Y50's (£70) and my Momentums (£200). This proved to me that spending money on improving what I can hear is far more important than buying equipment to play Hi-Res that I cannot hear.
So, will the Mojo (£390) improve my experience with my Momentums far more than simply switching out my Momentums for the PM3's (£350)?
Any help and all views will be greatly appreciated... Even if it's to say that I'm an idiot, cos I probably am!
Yianni.
