Hello, Head-fi. I really need help finding a suitable desktop amp for myself.
Current Headphones: AKG Q701
Current Amp/DAC: FiiO E17
(Near) Future DAC: DACMagic (regular)
Budget: $500
I listen to a wide variety of music so I need a good all-around performer. I also would like the amp to be able to drive headphones that tend to be power hungry so I can upgrade my headphones in the future without having to worry about it. I was looking into the Matrix M Stage but I read that they are not necessarily powerful enough to drive higher-impedance cans. Please let me know your opinions!
