Head-Fier
Hello, I hope I am posting in the correct location.
I was listening to my Fulla 2 as a DAC/amp, and A/Bing it with a Modi Multibit. I could not hear a discernible difference between them. I could not tell if it was a bias or if one was better or worse, almost completely identical. I do not know if there was a bottleneck (the Fulla 2 being the amp) but this has me kind of in a state of audiophile-existentialism. I don’t know if upgrading is worth it, like would a Schiit stack be enough? The reason I am asking is because I was going to take a plunge into buying a Hugo 2 to pair with my LCD-4s and buying an amp in the future. Headphones are a different story in my book, as I could hear a discernible upgrade between even high fi cans like the Z1R to the LCD-4s. But sources/amps, I just don’t know anymore. Some say the best thing to do is to audition things, try them out for your own ears, and I did, and thta is only leaving me more confused. Would a Hugo 2 be clearly distinguishable, undeniably a Hugo 2, sound like a Hugo 2 and all OR would I be able to listen to a Modi Multibit and forget what the Hugo 2 sounded like in a second? How bit is the difference? Would a Modi/Magni stack suffice? Is the difference in price what I am lacking here? Or am I missing something else entirely. I feel so lost.
Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for advice and input.
