I'm getting the upgrade bug, so someone either tell me that I shouldn't bother spending any money or tell me how to spend it best.
I love my Etymotic ER4P+Sony D25S pcdp. Most of you know that the Sony D25S is a VERY powerful portable that sounds quite good compared to most portables. Since I'm going back to college, I don't have any intention of buying a new source this year. Like I said, I really like the D25S and it doesn't take up any space.
Now, I also really like the ER4P paired with the D25S. I have NO complaints about the sound and I think I could be happy with my current setup forever. Seriously.
On the other hand...
Could I be even happier? I was thinking about getting the $50 adapter cable from Headroom to make the ER4P a ER4S.
Now, if I get the $50 adapter making my ER4P an ER4S, should I also get an amp? I realize the D25S has plenty of power, but wouldn't it still be even better for the ER4S through an amp?
So, assuming the answer is yes, what amp/configuration would be the best with my D25S and ER4S? I'm guessing a META42 is the answer.
I couldn't justify spending over $300 on an amp, so what kind of configuration would be best for the META42 for $300 or less, and is there someone who could build me one? I have no skills/knowledge or tools to build one for myself.
Finally, will $300 get me an amp that does justice to the ER4S, or should I look at spending more (or less)?
Portability is not a factor at all because I have a Panasonic CT570+Koss KSC35 for my portable needs, which I don't think I want to improve upon any time soon.
BTW, I'm pretty sure that I prefer a cold, detailed, analytical sound, as far as the amp configuration goes. I listen to classical (symphonies) and hard rock/metal if that matters.
Since some of my ramblings should probably be in different forum (or two), feel free to tell me where to go, but I figured I would start here.
