Hello all
I have taken the decision to use an ipad along with an iPhone for my music pleasures
My dilemma is I have hd 25, although on the ipad mini there is a marked improvement on the heaphone jack over ipad 3 and iPhone, the sound pretty good but I feel when the music gets complex the shrinks, secondly there's a lack of sound stage, thirdly I like a little more openness hoping this will bring out a bit more detail. I will keep the hd25 I - II for portable use, I listen to mixed music but mainly main stream stuff, police, massive attack, sia, dire straights, elbow, queen, and Paul Welles etc etc, here we go
I live in a flat so if open backed really can't afford much sound to leak, I have 3 year another baby due in November and a wife
Budget is not unlimited
This needs to sound musical not sterile, I want my toes to tap !
It could be a simple as adding just new headphones or involve and amp and/or dac, but I would much prefer to use a dac that will work straight from the lightning connector not the cck kit, I suppose I should say I device dedicated. Like Fostex hp-p1, cypher labs algorithm, hrt istreamer etc
Remember this is for home use not portable, so amps etc are limited in size proportions
Please if you could help and give me some pointers
Already recommended :-
Beyerdynamic t1
Beyerdynamic t5
Hrt I streamer
Naim headline ( naim equipment noted for there ability to sound fun)
Fostex hp p1 (especially with the t1 )
Cheers
