I bought my first quality headphones in August (SR60s) and a pair of Sennheiser HD 25-1 IIs last month (damn upgraditis already setting in). Both were great purchases and I'm happy with them. It seems like the next step is to buy an amp and I'm wondering how much my music listening experience will really increase by. For instance, if you compare my $200 HD 25's to $10 headphones, they're not 20 times better. Still, the increase in quality is remarkable which justifies forking over the money for them. I can't imagine that I'll get the same increase in quality if I buy a $200 amp. While music for me is more than just background noise, I don't sit in a zen trance listening for every detail either. I guess I'm asking if it's worth buying. I suppose if you're a regular poster in this sub-forum you obviously think that it is worth it. But I'd still like to hear what you guys have to say.
As for my set-up, I typically listen to my headphones at home or at work hooked up to my Macbook. Almost all my music is in v0. If I do buy an amp I want to set the ceiling at $200, though cheaper is better.
Two other questions:
Should it also include a DAC?
Any recommendations?
