I am currently working on a list to work on and save up for, just something to be excited about as I pinch pennies. I already have a DAC in mind(well two different but that is another story for another day) but when it comes to headphones and electrostatics there are just too many out there with different properties to even begin thinking.
Closed, or Open. Not much a concern for me, though I am usually in a louder environment so I tend to gravitate towards the closed headphones. I enjoy detail, but don't need them to be completely flat. I enjoy a little thump and oomph to my Bass, the kind where you only feel it when the song wants you to. Not the cheap kind where everything bumps in the night.
Really I am not all that picky, and I would obviously be picking up an amp that matches these phones. Price is not really a concern granted they are not insane, so I guess anything within the $2000 range(less is fine or a little more is fine) would be ok. Remember the price higher is relative to $2000 which i already consider a bit of cash so I rather get my moneys worth than pay a little less. This is for the headphones alone, its going to cost more with the amp but a matching amp I doubt is going to be that much more than the headphones.
Pretty sure any combo is going to be a gradation above what I currently own now,
$300 DAC/Amp Combo (in terms of how I upgraded it)
$250 DT770 Pro/250ohm
$200 Bit-perfect sound card turned transport.
What I plan on upgrading to over the next 2-3 years
Benchmark DAC1 HDR
-Headphones/Amp Unknown.
Anyway thanks for patiently reading my thread, and any suggestion is appreciated. Sorry if my grammar is sometimes awkward, I seem to have forum-grammar-itus.
