New Head-Fier
Hello everybody, thanks for reading my post in the first place. Newbie overhere, this is my first post.
First I want to explain my problem, the first dac I got to try was the gamedac that came with the Arctis Pro, a pair of gaming headphones. The difference in sound quality with the onboard dac was day and night. I was happy with that, but then I wanted to make an upgrade, and bought the Dragonfly Cobalt with the Fidelios X2 HR. But for my deception Im not able to tell a difference between the two dacs. After I bought the HD800S with the 789 AMP conected to the dragonfly cobalt with a 3.5mm to RCA cable from Audioquest. Another deception, this time the sound quality between the fidelios and 800s wasnt that big or noticeable as the pricetag of the heaphones. Following recomendations I bought the Soekris 2541 dac and Im planning to buy the Violectric v280. But now my gripe is that using the 2541 internal amp with my 800s sounds the same as with the 789. Or at least i cant tell. Can you help me telling me what im doing wrong or theres a way to train the ear to learn to diferentiate those details. Thanks for reading.
